# Windows sucks
|
|
|
|
Windows is proprietary software so you don't have control over it. Instead
|
|
micr\*s\*ft has control over **YOU**. The following Windows operating
|
|
systems suck:
|
|
|
|
* Windows 9x
|
|
* Windows 2000
|
|
* Windows XP
|
|
* Windows Vista
|
|
* Windows 7
|
|
* Windows 8/8.1
|
|
* Windows 10
|
|
* Windows 11
|
|
|
|
Microsoft spies on you, puts ads on your system and charges you. Which
|
|
should be illegal. In fact spying on you should be illegal.
|
|
|
|
Windows comes with preinstalled programs you didn't even asked for, which is
|
|
true bloatware. More bloated than the Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
Windows sucks for development, you don't have any equivalent to, for
|
|
example /usr/include and you have to install bash/cygwin to get a
|
|
"GNU/Linux feeling".
|
|
|
|
Microsoft really hates standards, their products used not to be compatible
|
|
with most standards. Internet Explorer for example. GNU software doesn't
|
|
follows the standards at 100%, but GNU software does add something useful
|
|
to the software instead of making it a pain in the ass.

# Backdoors
|
|
|
|
Is not a mystery for anyone that Win10 is absolutely backdoored. A example
|
|
of this is that [Microsoft disk encryption is
|
|
backdoored.](https://theintercept.com/2015/12/28/recently-bought-a-windows-computer-microsoft-probably-has-your-encryption-key/)
|
|
Since it stores the unlocking password in **your** Microsoft account.
|
|
|
|
If you try to install another browser (Firefox the one which rhymes with
|
|
"Noodle Dome") [it begs you not
|
|
to](https://www.ghacks.net/2018/09/12/microsoft-intercepting-firefox-chrome-installation-on-windows-10/)

# Interference
|
|
|
|
Not allowing the user to install any piece of software they want is very
|
|
shitty. It's my fucking computer!
|
|
|
|
Not to mention that Microsoft forced their users to install Windows 10.
|
|
Sometimes without users knowing.

# Sabotage
|
|
|
|
[Windows update remove software
|
|
installed](http://www.ghacks.net/2015/11/24/beware-latest-windows-10-update-may-remove-programs-automatically/).
|
|
For example. If you upgrade windows, it's very likely that the MBR will be
|
|
overwritten. So if you were dual-booting with GNU/Linux, prepare the GRUB
|
|
(or LILO) Fixer USB.
|
|
|
|
In Windows, a DRM file can be used to identify people using Tor. The
|
|
vulnerability only exists in Windows. Win-fags BTFO.
|
|
|
|
[Windows informs to the NSA about exploits before fixing
|
|
them](https://web.archive.org/web/20130622044225/http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2013/06/how-can-any-company-ever-trust-microsoft-again/index.htm)
|
|
|
|
Not to mention Windows updates itself without your consent. We already talked
|
|
about why automatic upgrades are bad:
|
|
|
|
* Remove useful features
|
|
* Add useless features
|
|
* Phones homes every time you open the software to check if upgrade is
|
|
available (This is the reason I think package managers are the best thing
|
|
that could ever happen to GNU/Linux. You upgrade if **YOU** want. You can read
|
|
the changelog before upgrading.)
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Don't trust any proprietary software. Especially in sensitive
|
|
subjects. Such as privacy, security, encryption...
