Is Windows 10 a trojan?

Windows 10, Friend or Foe - from WinPatrol

Now, we’ve discovered yet another reason to be unhappy with Windows 10. We were receiving many reports about our products, WinAntiRansom and WinPrivacy, not starting on Windows 10 computers. When we dug into it we discovered that on many Windows 10 computers, the DCOM service was failing to start and when that happened, Windows 10 failed to even attempt to start any of the remaining scheduled services. Or, worse, the remaining services would all timeout without starting making it look as if they were in error. In addition, we have seen evidence recently that this issue is working its way into Windows 8 computers as Microsoft ports code back to the older operating systems. As of yet, we are not seeing much traffic about this issue on Windows 7.

I do hope MS won't 'reverse-innovate' this into Windows 7. It's one thing to mess up your new beta product (or whatever Win10 is), but why propagate this backwards into an earlier product that works???? Moreover, I paid real money for my Win7 retail license, so I don't appreciate MS degrading the product I have already paid for. If they mess up my Win7, that will be my last Windows product I paid for.

I just spent about 5 straight hours with a fresh install of Widows 10 this afternoon doing the "tech thing."

I was so completely unimpressed (when I wasn't getting completely enraged) by it that I think the last remaining and most miniscule misgiving I might have still been harboring about distancing myself from Windows has finally gotten exorcised once and for all.

To those who either choose to (or must) remain in Micro-zaftig's fold, I wish you luck.  :Thmbsup:
