I don't blame people.
I'm tempted to roll back to Windows 7 on an almost daily basis.
The most recent reason? Parental controls are gone from Windows 10, unless you want to tie your computer to an online Microsoft account, and create online Microsoft accounts for your kids.
Pisses me off to no end. There is no way a local machine should ever be tied to an online account. I refuse to have any computer in my in my house on my network with anything but local accounts only. The computer should not be interacting with any server or service ever, unless it is explicitly requested by the user (like logging onto a FTP server, or something like that)
I'm looking for some third party alternative software to do what Microsofts parental controls used to do. There has to be something, but my search has come up short. For now I'm resorting to physically controlling it, by maintaining physical control of the power cord, which Kiddo only gets when all homework is done.
The MS monopoly machine took care of the parental control providers long ago.
This is what happens when a monopoly company like them is allowed to continue adding "features". At some point when the competition is long gone they can do whatever they like... your example is perfect. Tying up control over your childrens online exposure by forcing them to sign up for an online service is a pretty big F U. I know I'm well known for hating MS... really though they make it really hard to support the handful of non douch things they do.
