So last week Microsoft released Windows 10 to the world, for
free; “for free?!” you might say, “what is the catch?” you may ask. No one but
Microsoft really knows the agenda behind the true reasons for the free release,
and the motivating factor for the upgrade in this new way it was presented. Many
have theories, from they want to be nice, too they are secret operatives
working with the government to steal your personal data. Whatever their reason let
us review the new operating system released, the dos, the don'ts; the whys and
what the F*#$ is that?
1.
The Review
The Windows seems to be running
smother and cleaner, at least on my devices. It would seem that Microsoft has
come up with what Linux had Mac has done for years and given you resources. The
setback appears to be all the added features that take this advantage away. There
seems to be a lot of running process that should be off by default. Some features
added that would be better to be on if the user wants. It would also appear
that to turn these off it is a bit of a runaround. But Microsoft will be
Microsoft, I truly didn’t expect anything else.
I see Windows 10 as a better
product then the last 3 OS’s and it is about time. It has an updated view with all
of our favorite features. Whatever you think of Windows, in any shape or form,
this new OS is by far a win for Microsoft. Let us not forget though that it is
still early and Microsoft could still sour the milk.

The Reform
Windows 10,as stated before, has some
features that tend to decrease productivity and resource power. It is my
suggestion that you go the following links as to how to turn these off:
If you Google hard enough you can find a fix,
or workaround for anything, these were a few I found that work great. Why any
of these are on by default in the world we live in today I will never
understand. They are making it easier and easier to hack a system, and exploit vulnerabilities.
Although Microsoft will claim that the security risks are not to be a concern
as they will not allow your personal info or data to compromised, it has been
said that these issues can help a hacker create an easy Man in the middle
attack, so beware.

The Finale
As with any OS put out it will take
time for everyone to get on board, I am in the belief that this Windows 10 will
be good, I just hope that they can stay up with it for ten years. So before you
do anything make sure you know what you are getting, make sure you know how to
get rid of what you don’t want; and as always “Don’t Trust Anyone, or Anything!”
