Microsoft Windows "Features" in the News right now.

[DisasterIncarna]

So a lot of people who have been asleep for a long time have been worrying about the nice new features reported that basically spy on everyone and the panic is real, something i find hilarious as everything reported has been going on or at least found out as far back as Windows10, onyl they were labelled as "Useful Features".


This information was either ignored or dismissed as nonsense yet now its come back and supposedly "new" (which it isnt), then we have new levels of paranoia to deal with.


So why the post? well, ive seen ever increasing posts, youtube videos and reddit threads of people saying they are sick of either bad games, or what is basically malware/spyware rootkit "AntiCheat" that has unrestricted access to windows PC's wrapped up in the guise of a game, and here we are with the public at large, slow on the uptake seeing similar things with their basic operating system.


Gamers are already starting to go back to old/retro games to avoid bad stuff, are we soon going to be at the stage where we will actually regress to old/retro operating systems just to feel safe on our home computers?


Linux will be the obvious thing to jump to for many people for those that havent already, but that just means a new target for control and abuse, how long before people feel the need to jump to old OS, possibly like Amiga Workbench, or the Atari and old MAC System X OS's simply because they would be a static/fixed state not easily "updated" to a bad/intrusive condition.


Were pretty much doomed, but its gonna be interesting to see if a load of us actually regress, both in gaming and on OS use.
