Despite some early indications that the operating system has a bright future in the enterprise, many administrators are distrustful of the software giant for its lack of transparency concerning the content of Windows 10 patches. Concerned about their organizations' privacy and security, they fault Microsoft for not publishing a comprehensive list of bug fixes and feature additions.

"People that care about their PCs have to know what is included in the updates, especially admins who need to validate and confirm updates," Bradley told eWEEK in an email statement today. "Then we have numerous examples of where firmware and drivers have caused issues. We can't just have control over after they update, we need control before they install."

Like MS ever really listened to its users. Forced updates without details were a failure right from the start, and that got even more obvious with the reboot loop fiasco. Mix in the increased collection of data and you see why this is not really an OS you want to use.
