Not a chance in hell they get rid of all that crap, sadly.If it gets rid of telemetry, store, metro, ads, and anything else that is not needed on a gaming/server/workstation computer, then I am in.

The whole time trying to quiet my coworkers and stifle my own giggles while sounding like my tie was still on I'd normally hear a click the moment I mentioned bringing it up to their manager or that a valid business reason was required. Sometimes, though, we'd have a few people thinking they were special and we could make it all the way to the "apologies" knowing that they felt their pride was still intact and that was the last we'd hear of it."No. Sorry ma'am! your department does not allow access to the CD drive- even simply for the purposes of listening to music." "No ma'am. Those apps aren't installed nor are you allowed to download and install them. Even if you could, those devices are not accessible to your group." "I understand you're upset. My only suggestion is that you bring the issue up with your manager." "Please realize, however, that to gain access to that drive will require a valid business reason with the IT Security Groups approval, approval from the manager of Engineering and sign-off by both your business unit manager and the site manager." "Why? There will be charges associated to changing your systems build. Exactly? Well, a one time reimaging fee of $150 and a monthly customization maintenance fee of $50 (to make sure the Business Office Image isn't reapplied) an increase in the monthly lease support pricing(MLSP) of that seat from $60/mo to $175/mo as it will be using an out of contract image." "No ma'am. You would require an Engineering image to gain access to the CD drive. That's why you need your manager's sign-off stating he'll reimburse the Engineering group for the use of a license to one of its images. Yes. Each groups image carries an annual licensing cost in addition to the MLSP. Basically, (1.65*MLSP)*12." "Ma'am. I know. I don't write the contracts. I know this only as this is what the Customer Service Reps have told me when I've inquired previously on a customers behalf."
I need regedit, to start older game- who wont work whitout internet becouse win7 want to conect to some website. And loots of coments in Steam- games wont work on Windows 10No regedit is fine, as long as it has PowerShell...
Something is seriously wrong with Windows 10's development process if they don't include Candy Crush, Cortana and telemetry as the first things to cut from 'lean'.Something is seriously wrong with windows 10's development process if they call that "lean".
Ubuntu ships with several different environments. Mate is my favourite but it can be had with KDE or lxde, xfce etc. for lighter computers.I would suggest Linux Mint. It's Ubuntu based but with a friendlier GUI tham what Ubuntu ships wioth which is GNOME (not to be mistaken with GNOME 2 fork). Its friendly and ready to go for the most part out of the box.
And leave Regedit ALONE.

Does MSMG toolkit changes get reset when you apply a feature update?Not a chance in hell they get rid of all that crap, sadly.
I finally went back to 8.1 with all the telemetry KB updates blocked, the store and all of the phone apps removed. But before I left I was running 10 Pro build 1709 modded down to a 2.7GB install with MSMG Toolkit. Got rid of absolutely all the crapware - cortana, edge, store, all the preinstalled phone apps, onedrive, ads, etc.
MSMG Toolkit run against a 10 Enterprise ISO to strip out Edge and the store is probably the cleanest one can make 10 if youre deadset on running it, since Microsoft still honors GPOs set in Enterprise that they no longer do in Pro and Home (things like disabling bing web/shopping results from local file searches, or delaying feature updates).
Surprising considering MS ditched Windows server core version.
You should seriously consider FreeBSD too. The desktop experience ksnis as easy/refined as (most) Linux distributions, but there's not nearly as much churn.
Oooops I meant the nano version got ditched.I don't think they ditched the core version btw. They added an even smaller version (nano) but my understanding is that normal windows server 2016 comes with the option to install either Core or Desktop Experience. But I haven't installed it personally so I could be wrong.
This is all BS ....... don't ... I repeat ... DON'T get your hopes up.
Until they rip out Edge, Cortana, Telemetrics, etc ... Windows will never be lean.
Regedit is absolutely tiny. This is your first clue that this endeavor will end up being nothing more than total BS.
Besides, there are already several variants of Windows 10 "Lean" out there. That have Edge, Cortana, Telemetrics, etc ripped out. A crap ton of bloat and cancer that has been removed. Don't want automatic updating getting in your way? Awesome, great ... cause it's been removed as well.
I currently use a tiny version of Windows 7 lite that's around 900MB that is incredibly fast. But when I'm not running this I run Windows 10 Lite V4 by Whitedeath.
It's called Windows 10 Lite V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, etc etc etc. It's 2.5gb in size and installs in a matter of minutes. Literally 3 or so minutes on a high-end system. Go look for it. And if you have a legit Windows 10 License .... I doubt there are any issues with you running this version.

Linux is for people who hate Windows. BSD is for people who love Unix!I tried BSD for a while and really liked it. The problem (at the time) was no support for my printers and issues getting Steam games running. Over all, I like BSD more than Linux since BSD felt like it was 'designed' where Linux kind of feels like it's 'evolved'.
They didn't ditch it. It's just a volume license only option.Oooops I meant the nano version got ditched.
Le Sigh. So much hate over Microsoft adding a different choice for the SKU of Windows, and hilarious about all those extolling the myriad of choices available for Linux distributions.
Y'all know that you can strip out the "junk" you don't like from WIndows 10 with some simple and well documented powershell commands?
I just installed Ubuntu-MATE, it looks good, runs well, and installed Steam and Minecraft without issues (unlike Mint, which was kinda squirrelly for some reason). The only problem I have atm is the Microsoft keyboard I just bought, it's Bluetooth but it doesn't want to pair. It might be going back.So another wimpy windows. I would assume this is for tablets and such. If they can do this surly (typo, but I'm leaving it) they could include off switches so I don't have to waste valuable bandwidth with telemetry and forced updates? Yeah, I know, keep on dreaming. I really am moving to Linux--just so many options I can't make up my mind (like a kid in a candy store).
More like "smaller hook that you'll swallow so deep you'll never get it out."Something is seriously wrong with windows 10's development process if they call that "lean".
Didn't anyone remind them that nobody likes mobile OS's on desktop computers? It's like the only focus groups they're listening to are millennials that have never used anything but an iPhone their entire lives.Surprising considering MS ditched Windows server core version.
Prepare for disappointment. :-/If it gets rid of telemetry, store, metro, ads, and anything else that is not needed on a gaming/server/workstation computer, then I am in.
EVERYTHING is an "app" now...Regedit is considered an app and not an essential tool?
I liked the way it looked, but it had issues with me, it didn't like installing programs for some reason.I would suggest Linux Mint. It's Ubuntu based but with a friendlier GUI tham what Ubuntu ships wioth which is GNOME (not to be mistaken with GNOME 2 fork). Its friendly and ready to go for the most part out of the box.
You almost hit the nail on the head.Between this and the "No more Win32 applications, only UWP apps, Windows Store only unless 3rd party app enabled" version of Windows, it seems Microsoft's primary strategy is "You use what WE want you to use" on both sides of the equation; either Win10 packed with Candy Crush / Facebook / adds and unwanted data mining stuff, or a locked down barebones "Just what we think you need" option.
If there is blowback from this so much the better if it drives users onto Linux, so much the better.
