Windows OS

Windows 10 is without a doubt, the worst desktop operating system, because you have to make great effort to disable all the crap that’s included by default.
It is very easy to see that, because all the default settings and options in the Control Panel are not designed to serve you as user, but to serve Microsoft, with your search queries, your browsing habbits, your contacts, notes and everything you could possibly do on the computer.

I still use it, because I play games sometimes, but of course I spent a few hours disabling all the tracking features and stopped all the spyware services.
