Most other companies are doing it. Software now is seen as road construction. Always under way and never done.


Yeah but Microsoft should have catch the start menu hang plaguing windows 10 recently before it goes into production.

And I am not sure that "everyone else does it" is a good reason. Everyone else does nagging. Apple nags again and again for its icloud, apple pay, apple music, etc. I get some nagging for using instagram all over my facebook feed. Microsofts nags me for using edge, onedrive, etc.

But "the others do it too" doesn't make a good product.


They should absolutely fix it. But they just fall back to the "everyone is doing it, so why not us" attitude. I've seen companies include phone-home features after win10 rolled out theirs.
