Windows is not a service, it's just an operating system, don't update it too much like that!

'Windows as a Service' (Windows as a Service) is slowly failing. Windows is not and never a service. It's just a computer operating system and doesn't need to be updated every 6 months. Even iOS or Android will only update once a year.

Updating your PC is hard!

Microsoft has posted on the blog about the quality of Windows 10, that it is very safe without explaining what happened with October 2018 Update or promising changes in the future. Their only commitment is to be clearer in providing information.

Talking about recent errors, Microsoft only looks at the 'scale of Windows ecosystem', with '700 million Windows 10 operating machines, more than 35 million applications with more than 175 million versions and 16 million hardware combinations / separate driver '.

It is true that Windows is complex and must support many software and hardware. So Microsoft should slow down, do not update too often and leave many such errors. Windows 7 must also support many hardware and software, but it runs very stable. They provide a very solid software platform for hardware manufacturers and software developers.

Of course security updates are important, but Microsoft can still update security for Windows 7 and older versions before the concept of 'Windows as a service' and the updates are rarely encountered problems. What topic.

No one needs Windows to do anything

This is just Microsoft's idea, but no user requires this. 'Software as a Service' (Software as a Service) is a trend. But these types of services are usually hosted on another platform, such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. It is understandable because the company maintains the software and you access it remotely.

The operating system running on millions of devices with different hardware configurations is not a service. It is not easy to update and you will have many problems with hardware, drivers, software when things change. The update process is not quick, it has to be downloaded and installed for a long time.

If Google changes anything on Gmail, there are not many software problems. At worst, Gmail will crash. But millions of applications (and computers) will go if Microsoft makes mistakes with Windows.

What does Windows serve as a service for us?

What has Windows 10 done since its release? As a service, what does it bring to us? It is true that Microsoft has more new features like Timeline, Paint 3D but how many Windows users care? Many new features can be used without upgrading the OS.

Take a look at the new features of October 2018 Update and see if it's worth your loss? Texting from your PC is good, but Microsoft just needs to release an application, and in fact, they are going to put it on Skype.

Windows considers itself a service, but what does the service actually do?

The clipboard history is also good and so is the Dark Theme for File Explorer. But can't wait for another 6 months for Microsoft to complete the product, check it carefully and then release it?

'Windows as a Service' really gives us something. Candy Crush is installed on the computer, the available ads are becoming more and more problematic when Windows calls home once a day, saying that Microsoft has problems with the server.

Windows does not need to update every 6 months

Microsoft, please slow down. Is it okay to release a new version once a year? Apple still did, and they didn't need 'macOS as a Service'. Just launch a new version of Windows once a year, give it a name, spend a lot of time tweaking, fixing errors, waiting when it's stable, launching without delay.

Let the Windows update be free and optional, do not force users to upgrade immediately. Don't make people install a new OS just because they click on Check for Updates. If it is good, users will install it. If anyone's hardware or software doesn't support the new OS, let them use the old version.

Keeping many Windows versions doesn't make Microsoft more work. For Enterprise users, each September update is patched in 30 months. Make it a normal Windows version and let users do it themselves?

Windows 7 users are watching

Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 for about a year, on July 14, 2020. After that, Windows 7 users will have to upgrade Windows or use Windows 7 without security patches.

How many Windows 7 users want to stick to Windows 10's troubles? How many people would rather use the old Windows version?

The sad thing is that Microsoft has a more stable version of Windows. If you use Windows 10 Professional, you can postpone the update for a while. If you use Windows 10 Enterprise, you can use the new Windows release for up to 30 months, receive security updates during that time. But although Microsoft has patched and supported these versions, Home users do not receive them.

We end up becoming testers for real Microsoft customers who spend money to get more stable software.
