What you need to know about Windows 10 S edition! - @Barnacules

Did you know I've made over 800+ other videos on YouTube? Hit that *SUBSCRIBE* button and watch another Barnacules Nerdgasm video right after this one! 🍿 Microsoft recently announced a new Windows SKU called Windows 10 S edition (Windows RT 2.0). This new version of Windows 10 restricts the user to only apps installed through the Microsoft Store and imposes other limitations like only being able to use EDGE as your default browser and you're forced to use BING as your search engine. Let's explore why this is wrong and what they are really trying to do which is to reboot Windows RT and force people to use only their services and approved software.

Why Do I need Windows 10 when I have Windows 98 !?!?!?

[andreisabe]

My hate for the new Microsoft increases every day.

Never use Norton AV. Your PC will run from day 1 like it was day 2000.

Bottom line on all of this, this is MS's way of trying to keep Windows relevant and their cash cow. This started way back with the birth of the internet, and the fact that a lot of people were no longer going to the store and buying physical copies of Windows/MS software; I look at this the same way I look at their service agreements for the older versions of Windows. Working in tech support for several years (H&R Block, Sprint), I saw plenty of offices that wouldn't upgrade, both because of cost, and the hassle of learning new steps for doing the same thing that they could do with the older systems. If MS wants to kill Windows off, this is a good way of doing it.

I'm one step closer to start using Linux.

It should be Windows 10 Basic instead of Windows 10 S
Using Basic will be more in line with their versions (Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro) and it conveys that it can be used for lower end hardware.

Is it possible a student can errase the OS, change it to linux and walk up to the teacher and tell them "my computer was upgraded to Linux"

[davidtoddhoward]

Oh my god!! To be stuck with Edge and Bing!! What fresh hell is this?! 😣 I like a good rant, but this was educational too. Thanks Jerry

I don't understand why a Company like Microsoft can't release a well polished OS, they made a legendary OS like Windows 7. And now with so much experience they make buggy & shitty OS like win_10. Even after almost two years they still can't remove the bugs. My many files got corrupted after installing the w_10 Creator Update, system crashed. Holy s*** :(

Windows10 Slave? ( to Microsoft Store).

[chinmaygupta]

I liked this video as soon as I heard the "HEY!!! whats up guys jerry here aka barancules..."

[Complex]

could you uninstall the storage drive, wipe it and redownload a unactivated version of full windows 10

[jfraser]

they should of called it Windows 10 C (CRAP)

[scottpollier]

Barnacules fanboy here, what's up early birds?😎

[XDeminox]

I wouldn't call Win10 "light". My HDD usage is always at 100%. Just sitting there. And we're talking clean boots with no software installed. Microsoft deflects this all the time. "its your antivirus" "its adobe" "its whatever thing we want to tell you it is". Drive health is perfect though, pop any other OS on it and its smooth.

Didn't MS get fined by the EU for bundling IE because it was anti-competitive?

[MrNdhlovu]

Thank you for taking the time out to inform us, I appreciate your efforts. You rock!

[daoneTM]

Jerry can you do a one month GNU/Linux challange?

Buy that cheap computer and install Linux over the 10S....
