Windows 10

My ASUS laptop came with licensed Windows 10 pre-installed. So it provided no way to disable Windows Update, which is the most annoying thing in the universe. I tried to disable Windows Update service through services.msc and taskschd.msc, but Windows 10 kept re-enabling it and annoying me with useless updates.

So I took ownership over c:\Windows and physically deleted the service's files c:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll, qmgr.dll, TrustedInstaller.exe, and also SIHClient.exe and UsoClient.exe because I don't need that garbage. I won, there was no updating anymore. Yet Windows 10 started displaying "Activate Windows Go to Setting to activate Windows" text in bottom right corner.

There is no way to activate Windows 10 now, it says Error code: 0xC004F012 "We can't activate Windows on this device right now." So I had to use illegal activator software, which pirates use to activate Windows 10. That software got me viruses (besides the backdoors Microsoft already includes in Windows 10). So thank you, dear Microsoft, for destroying perfectly fine Windows NT and forcing users to go through this. Hope now my computer will be part of botnet, which will DDoS Microsoft.com. Better with viruses, than with Windows Update. Viruses behave much nicer than Windows Update and consume less resources. The choice is obvious! And I'm dead serious, without any trolling.

Good luck with your horrible software practices, Microsoft, you have managed to completely break what was good in Windows 7 and Windows XP!

The reason why GNU is so ``bloated'' was precisely because the FSF wanted to avoid copyright infringement, so Stallman encouraged GNU to be authored in a way that encouraged completeness and full-featuredness. And, for the record, Plan9 from Bell Labs was released in part under the GPL2. Many people would have you believe that Plan9's failure was because of GPL's conflicting with Lucent--and they'd be right, except that the only thing that license dispute prevented was the inevitable failing of Plan9 from the fact that no one gives a shit except autistic hobbyists.
