the gpo has defined behavior, the registry is undefined and can change at any time without warning if this was the win95 days when MS spent a ton of time maintaining compatibility with programs that used hacks or private APIs or whatever then that’d be one thing but current MS can barely manage to not break their documented stuff

if Microsoft terminates it's contract with ICE, ICE will leverage Amazon. and we all know what happened when the NSA contracted everything to Amazon. ... uh they made an always-on speaker connected to the servers shared by the NSA maybe it's better that ICE stay on Microsoft since they have such little presence in homes and always-on Kinect (totally not a feature the government/military sales team demanded from the start) was dropped

the constant grinding of the useless search indexer hmm, pretty much that, and it's not a reg hack just disabling a service and the cruft on the start menu, lovely shovelware apps installing themselves willy nilly

the search indexer isn't useless if you like being able to search for things and also it doesn't grind away at anything nor does it even run when you're using things (unless you ask it to specifically search an un indexed location)

hobbesmaster posted:the gpo has defined behavior, the registry is undefined and can change at any time without warning I mean, that's technically true but GPOs are just protected reg keys that map to the standard ones and the GPO template defines that mapping. They can break in the same way that anything else can.

hobbesmaster posted:in theory microsoft tests the GPOs I think the common issue is that people don't know they need to update their GPO templates on the sysvol so they have an older DC and then start rolling new builds without updating them and then bam, no template for your build and settings wipe regardless. But yeah, QA is in the toilet.

is it somehow worse than on Mac? it rarely indexes and it’s always done pretty quickly. operation is a bit slower and battery life can decrease faster but yeah. you can also blacklist stuff from being indexed
