Really paranoid organisation (the UK government) disabled USB ports on PCs. Maybe it still does.

I think wraith808 was saying that when someone unilaterally says "you should be using product X" or "you should not be using product Y" that is what is condescending. I don't think that he meant that what you said was condescending.

Man, ads in your operating system... ugh.
I quite like Windows 10, it's pretty snappy - but I really don't like this direction. Meh. Thought Microsoft had wisened up with Natya Sadella and all, but... ugh.
all of systems we work on now have a licensed copy on Notepad++ installed.-Shades (March 11, 2017, 07:11 PM)

It doesn't bother me too much as it is an ad for a MS product. If they started selling banner ads to other 3 party companies then that is different.

While I'm inclined to agree with you ... The phrase 'War of Inches' does come to mind.
If the crowd reaction isn't harsh enough, this could easily get a lot worse rather fast.
