Well, outright dismissing everyone's views about the preview is kind of silly. Surely you have complained about something in your life, or had a less than perfect opinion about something, and you probably wouldn't feel great if you were just labelled as ignorant for sharing it. If you have specific complaints about certain opinions, it would make more sense to address those complaints specifically instead of opening your post by basically saying "you're all idiots" or whatever.
I've had complaints, obviously. That's not where I was coming from, and I'm pretty sure you know that. What you've done is a strawman fallacy. My actual points can't be argued against, so you say I intended something completely different, and attack that. The problem is obviously the fact that my stance is not what you say it is.
My stance is that the thread was starting to go a little bonkers over an expected feature in technical preview of an operating system. A baseless complaint followed by even more baseless speculation because hating on MS is popular and no other reason.
And you know what? I called some people ignorant. That's uncalled for here, so I was warned. And everyone is fixating on that instead of the valid points I brought up. As if not calling them names would have somehow helped them listen. You can see that it obviously did not by the fact that I wasn't the only person to bring up the same points (none of the others had to resort to name calling, good on them), yet those I insulted haven't changed their tune at all. It gets easy to see where my frustration comes from. That's not a justification.
My complaints aren't baseless. If I knew a thing would be a certain way going in, I would either not complain when the part I disagreed with occurred, or not participate to begin with. I'm not one to complain for the sake of it, as was the case here. And I certainly don't wildly speculate based on useless complaints. Or maybe I should go to Walmart and yell at management for not selling the brand name clothing I like.
I'm not against complaints, or real feedback. But complaining about forced updates and technical issues and/or uptime during a
Technical Preview is a baseless complaint. The further speculations about the impact on enterprise just added fuel to the fire.
This version of Windows 10 exists so that MS can get useful feedback on how people want to use their OS and what features they like or dislike. I've provided feedback on the search bar and a few other things. It's not as if I think everything they've done to this point is perfect. One thing I didn't do is complain about being forced to update or make baseless speculations on the impact that would have on enterprise because I'm smart enough to know what a consumer-oriented technical preview is. If someone is running the Enterprise preview, they should say as much. If they are running it as a daily driver for their business, they should reconsider their career choice.
I enjoy how I'm getting feedback on the first sentence only, even a warning (oh snap!). No one seems to disagree with anything else I said in that post.
It's also interesting to see how fine the line is. You didn't get a mod comment. Someone else did. Why? It was just as hard for you to ignore me as it was for me to ignore those I insulted.
