The next update to Windows 10, due to be released in October, will be smarter about how it frees up disk space and cleans up temporary files. That should save the hackers some time

So, you then object that the GM dealership gives preference to their parts when you walk into their store?

No, I do not now, but I would if GM had a 95% market share and professed to encourage the development of third-party accessories.

GM has a 100% market share of GM products, though. And they do encourage development of third-party accessories, yet advertise their own. Sales people often, for any company, when you go to buy a competing product through them attempt to sell you their own. It's annoying, but not wrong. What Microsoft is doing is no different. They have a right to promote their own stuff. They don't prevent you from using someone else's stuff, though. Like a lot of car and other manufacturers do.

I'd use Edge if it gave me the option of doing a plain search when I right click something rather than "Ask Cortana". Turns out you can turn this off, though it still offers to "Ask Bing", not just do a damn search.
I also find in annoying that their bookmark menu icon is on the right of the toolbar.
Still, I decided to try it for today.

Follow up: I tried to use Edge all of yesterday and mostly succeeded. It isn't as bad as some claim, but neither is it better than Firefox in any way except, perhaps, rendering speed ("perhaps" since I didn't notice a difference.) Therein lies the problem--there is nothing about Edge that tempts me to switch and plenty of little UI things that I don't like. Which exposes the second problem; browsers are boring utilities, differentiated [to the user] by usability preferences.

It really isn't any different than Chrome or Firefox nagging to be set as the default browser when they are not. 
All messages are equally annoying.

they only ask once if you click the "do not ask me again" button box.

True, but sometimes once is one time too many.

How about making Edge so superior that we would choose to use it?
Ironically, I did have a need to use it a while back for a specific purpose but usually barely touch it.

I would like to see a Windows screen saver that pops up a window that says, "Wouldn't you rather use Linux?"

Of course in Edge get stupid dialog from Chrome asking to install chrome. How many times have I said no to that dialog. Also the dialog from Youtube asking to upgrade and again how many times have I said no. Wish they would put a checkbox on to say I have had enough and not interested...

Shorter hours, to my mind, would lead to far greater productivity in many jobs but it will take a huge paradigm shift to cure many managers of the notion that a man who can dig x square meters in an hour can dig 24x cubic meters in a 24-hour shift.

We could have done that in the last century; decent pay for everyone will not happen any time soon.

Pursuing all the new and shiny stuff we want will fill that fifth day back up again.
If we were willing to live at a mostly per-industrial level - other than mechanized/etc farming - we could work for less than an hour a week in our circa 1750/1800 homes and lifestyle.
If we were willing to live at a pre-service economy level (not thrilled with the term, but basically dropping everything beyond industrialization) we could work one day a week and spend the other six enjoying our 1940's lifestyle.
Any takers?
I thought not.
