Windows 10 to come with Candy Crush pre-installed

New market for webroot. Automatically removing Microsoft installed crapware.

I'd hope that this method would still work: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/erase-default-preinstalled-modern-apps-windows-8

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
(EDIT:$##!&%%$ !!! code insert method)

Just noticed this tidbit

Candy Crush Saga will be automatically installed for customers that upgrade to or download Windows 10 during the launch!

Lets just break that out for further highlighting

during the launch

Perhaps, we have blown this out of proportion.
We shall see.

Microsoft is trying to convince casual Facebook users to upgrade to Windows 10...lol

This is a consumer thing. Enterprises that deploy Windows 10 will just not include it in their base images, problem solved.

Microsoft does need to find ways to woo back consumers, I don't think this is it personally, so that probably means it's exactly what needs to happen. I always seem to be on the wrong side of what woo's consumers.

Casual FB users already have this. It's the "I'm afraid of FB" people that they are going after.

I've never played Candy Crush Saga... heard it was a bejeweled rip off though.

I liked bejeweled about 10 years ago for about 6 months.. games in general don't get much of my time these years.

I had an intern at IBM who used to play that in the office.

When I was brand new to consulting I found it.. I would play it while I was waiting on install screens.. then someone complained.. and well that was the end of my mobile device gaming days - never really looked back.
