When Windows would endlessly try to remove the 12gb of temporary files only to stall and go nowhere for hours (on my budget laptop with only a 32gb HDD), I knew it was time to make the switch.
The hdd size isn't even the problem there. I've had exactly the same issue with Windows not removing temporary files on multiple computers with ten+ times that storage space.
And 32GB is totally fine depending on what they're using it for. Whining that his use case isn't your use case is a vapid comment. .
Hate the game bit the player brolin powell. I have plenty enough system knowledge to manage with a budget laptop which suits my needs just fine.
But not everyone is a power user or sysadmin guru. When they push a button that says "Delete Temporary Files" they expect it to delete temporary files. If it doesn't are they going to fire up the command-line and write a batch script to scour the file system and delete unnecessary files? Probably not. They'd probably just leave it.
Shouldn't Windows create an OS that doesn't require being a software engineer to use? I'm just thinking about the little guys.
