Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10

If using a laptop or the like switch your WiFi connections over to metered connections.

My Surface Pro 4 was having stability issues when it slept, and updates seemed to be the issue. Switched over to metered connections and I haven't lost any work in weeks.

Doesn't work for desktops or the like with wired connections.

So it's got this malicious feature, but you can trick it into not working with some arcane (and conditional) configuration setting. I switched to Linux when XP started feeling too limiting, but this is just getting ridiculous. And without real pushback from the broader user base, odds are this is a trend that will continue.
