Why Windows 10 Sucks

Re:Why Windows 10 Sucks by 0xmohit on Friday July 15, 2016 @12:39AM (#12098967)

Must say that the manner in which Windows 10 (installation/upgrade) pop ups appear on older versions of Windows is rather odd.

That said, the manner in which MS chooses to address certain issues [0] is rather weird. (Not sure if this one applies to Windows 10 too, does apply to Windows 8.)

And then you can "Run Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" [1]. I fail to understand how different is it from running Cygwin or MSYS/MinGW if you can't interact with Windows applications.

[0] could be an XKCD joke. Ho wait... it is: http://xkcd.com/1700/

In the last Windows 10 update, if your username contains nadella, the spying services are disabled and your machine gets 10% faster.

I've had the same concerns. Seems like Windows and the Linux layer cannot share files systems. So how does that help a developer wanting to use both the shell and the the IDE?

Sure you can share files, it's works OK with some caveats. More in the overview under DriveFs: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/wsl/2016/04/22/windows-subs...
