Once it gets Adblock, and hopefully Greasemonkey and a download accelerator, I'll probably never use Firefox again.

(My browser is firefox)


Web notifications are really cool, Chrome and Firefox both have them and it's sucky that microsoft left them out.


This one means that you can't play webms, which are incredibly popular on the internet, like on reddit, imgur, 4/8chan, tumblr, they even get posted on blf sometimes.



This one means that edge can't even play the simplest form of audio ever: .WAV files.


All of these are other free, open source codecs that are used all over the internet and have been popular for years. This is not a good thing.




WebP was going to be used on facebook but mozilla refused to implement it for some stupid reason

Can possibly screw up the display of websites.
Not sure what this is, but again it can screw up the display of websites.

You also might not be able to change what search engine you use on it, but I'm not entirely sure on that.

ANYONE WITH NVIDIA ISSUES READ HERE:
According to a recent article, There has been an issue with Nvidia's display drivers and Windows Update conflicting, this is due to windows trying to update the driver and if you already have the driver, it crashes it. Go to windows update and disable automatic updates, its what worked for me.
If you don't know what driver I'm talking about, heres the one that's meant for windows 10: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/86510/en-us

there has been nsa backdoors since 1999 within windows
it doesn't matter considering the rate at they would monitor you is slim to none

If you care about your privacy, then that's correct, because if you install it then they have sweeping power to sell the information on basically anything and everything you do. I actually changed my mind on installing it after that pic.

There's only actual evidence of nsa spying appearing in ONE version of windows. Again, if you care about your privacy and don't want all your keystrokes, wifi passwords and emails sitting in nsa servers I suggest you don't get it.

they're practically doing the same thing in every other version of windows except they just hide it a bit more than windows 10 does

Almost every single thing in that image is either from the technical preview (note the date), which you should understand is all about detailed feedback, or about Cortana. The Windows 10 everyone is currently downloading is not the technical preview, it is the final release, and all of that personal tracking data has been removed from required core services. Cortana is a digital personal assistant, and in order to be intelligent about assisting you, things like browsing history are very useful. And of course, like basically every single issue of security, it can be turned off.

Comparing Microsoft's optional usage data collection to the work of national socialist propagandist Joseph Goebbels is a very big stretch, and dishonest at that.

Edit: I noticed that picture also includes spelling correction and search suggestions claimed to be a major breach of security.

He claims that all the stuff can be disabled... so can I see pics of all those windows pictured?
