'Constant Negativity' From Pro Users Led Apple to Develop Modular Mac Pro, Which May Not Ship Until 2019

However good Windows 10 is, it still is by Microsoft and they still do not understand a good customer experience.

1. Why does Windows restart in the middle of a game, rendering a video or essentially any other task to install updates. Most OS's understand when the computer is in use and will put off tasks like that, or at least ask.

2. Why do adverts keep popping up trying to get me to buy office, use skype, candy crush or the xbox store. Why do these adverts have their own uninstallers?

3. Why do they release browser updates like twice a year rather than having a constant minor release cycle like Chrome. Do they think it is better for their customers to have buggy unpatched software than small unnoticeable updates?

The only other OS which is as bad / worse is Android for all it's annoying Google integrations, constantly pushing you to use Google software. The Samsung S8 has 2 Siri like assistants, both with gestures / buttons to activate them. Ony by Google, one by Samsung.

The only thing Microsoft could do to make the experience worse would be to introduce loot boxes into the desktop experience.

1. It doesn't. That was definitely true in WIndows 8.x, but in Windows 10 they now only reboot during "quiet hours" you set. it will no longer just randomly reboot like you claim.

2. You can turn this off. I don't like that it is on by default, but it's not like it's forever throwing ad's at you.

3. Edge/IE has always been a dumpster fire. However, patches/bug fixes for Edge/Chrome are often delivered as part of the windows update, and not a separate installer such as Chrome. Windows 10's Edge upgrades seems to follow the same sort of delivery methodology that Apple uses, in which major updates are only packaged with the OS update and not independantly. One of the reasons I use neither Edge nor Safari.

Interesting. That pre-dates the HP elite slice by a few years (a concept I like BTW except for the internals.)

Ha... that website (and even the pictures) are totally trying to copy Apple from like 5 years ago.

Tim Cook could impress professionals by releasing the previous cheese-grater Mac Pro with updated internals this year, at a discounted price.

Call it the Mac Pro Classic!
