Paul Thurrott: Here are the Top User Requests for Windows

I can't say that any of those are on my top 10 list.

It is a flawed reporting system, you can only like something, it allows no biased opinions. So I consider the results interesting, but, certainly not conclusive, nor accurate. How many people read through the entire lists, the ones voted on are usually close to the top.

I'm not sure I want to uninstall them, I just wanted to remove them from the Start Menu, and that how to do that was not immediately obvious. My point was, it should be (obvious).

Or to put it another way, basically what he's stating in true dictatorship fashion is that people who use alternative paid-for services (and have no use for anything other than a local account), should not be able to use a local account that's setup to only access the paid-for services they use? What planet is this geezer on?




Or, how about just leaving the Control Panel alone for desktop users and leave the 'PC Settings' mess for tablet users?

GOD Mode still works! It was one of the very first things I added to the desktop context menu so I could find things!
