no problem. it seems like since w8 microsoft has become obsessed with having the worst possible ui defaults, presumably to show off the useless bells and whistles every idiot in the product chain had decided to jam in

microsoft pushing some compiz level wankery for the default ui will never stop being hilarious. especially after the whole "authentically digital" nonsense.

When accessing any Microsoft website I am immediately filled with an inexplicable rage I mean go to tech community and try to access a forum about a specific product. Of course you have to click about 5 times to get to it, there isn't a simple list in the main website, it's much more important to get the "latest" posts on a forum about 1000 different products

cinci zoo sniper posted:reminder the update after hebdo shooting notepad++ would automatically type je suis charlie into the first document opened when launching it cinci zoo sniper posted:the actual problem is not "je suis charlie" (which is a shitstorm of its own), its that the update had it automatically type poo poo into your real documents, with no way to control that behaviour, which should be understandably undesirable. I don't remember Notepad++ doing that, as far as I remember their changelog that opens automatically after every update contained a "Je suis Charlie" message. And VS Code is still slow as gently caress even on a good machine.

The only bad thing about VS Code is that it expects your machine to be connected directly to the internet, I wish it was easier to package it and its plugins for a shared installation on an isolated terminal server.

you can just use the media tool, or even just use a win 7 key when installing from bootable media* it's not enforced at all as far as i can tell, and never has been. *don't do this at work, it's bad and microsoft will make you cry
