Maybe it's just me, but I really do not like the always in flux OS code model. It is so unpredictable with what will stop working in the future. For example, my Surface Pro (Win8.1) no longer did the WiFi app show Ad hoc networks. --and had me writing a little batch file work-around, to make the computer see my phone as a hot-spot. :-\

In general, MSFT takes away lower-level user control with each new OS. Sounds like I'll be keeping even more old computers to support the legacy stuff. yay, progress.

I wonder when they'll start calling it Windows 365 . . . because that's likely how often (days) their new OS will demand the user give up some money, or the OS. yay, progress.
