Apple restricts access to the kitchen in order to make sure that the kids don’t play with the knives.
And in many cases the spoons and forks. Unless of course you donate $$$ to apples cause.

I’m not sure what restrictions you guys are talking about. There’s nothing off limits in the OS on any Mac I’ve owned. Worst case, you open a Terminal instead of some antiquated GUI buried ten levels deep in Control Panel.Apple restricts access to the kitchen in order to make sure that the kids don’t play with the knives.
I honestly want to know, where does this come from? Like what is it about OSX that makes you say that? Because I've been able to tinker with it just as I've tinkered with Windows.Apple restricts access to the kitchen in order to make sure that the kids don’t play with the knives.
Maybe I'm going on old experience, at least with Macs. Back in the day at least, the granularity wasn't there vs Windows. As for IOS, file manipulation is crude compared to its competitors.I’m not sure what restrictions you guys are talking about. There’s nothing off limits in the OS on any Mac I’ve owned.

I totally get not liking the GUI aesthetics and operations of macOS. That kind of stuff is pretty subjective. But it feels pretty wrong to say it locks things away from the user. It's not in the same place, but I can't think of a single thing on macOS I can't do that Windows allows me to do.Maybe I'm going on old experience, at least with Macs.

I recall spending quite a bit of time with reg.exe and the tools from SysInternals in my Windows days. Both OSes keep the really deep stuff far down in the command line territory; nothing unique to either Windows or macOS there.And yes, you can do a lot with a terminal window, same as Windows. But that's foreign territory for most users.
My comment was in response to your comment responding my post that cited Apple. iOS is a highly-exposed component thereof.Bringing iOS into this seems odd as we're talking about i86 operating systems.
We're in a thread talking about Windows, a desktop OS. But alright.My comment was in response to your comment responding my post that cited Apple. iOS is a highly-exposed component thereof.

2. I use a program called "Winsplit Revolution v11.04" where you can use hotkeys to snap windows into your own customized predetermined sized and placements on the screen. Works perfectly fine in Windows 10. I use the following hotkey arrangement:
Ctrl + Alt:
QWE
ASD
ZXC
"Ctrl + Alt + 1" and "Ctrl + Alt + 1" move windows to the next-left and next-right monitor.
The 9-hotkey grid shown above takes the current in-focus window and places it on the screen in the size and placement you pre-alocate. You can also press the same hotkey multiple times to cycle between different window sizes and placements you setup, so for example "Ctrl + Alt + A" can make a window occupy the left half of the screen, but press that button combo again and it takes up the left 1/3rd of the screen, press it again and it takes the left 2/3rds of the screen, etc. I've installed it on my home and work PCs and almost can't use Windows anymore without it.

my own hotkeys and window placements:Google Drink Link. To use, save the entire ".export" file and import it from the options menu.
Here's a few examples of hotkey-only windows placements:
4. You could always install Classic Shell to get the Windows 7 start menu: http://www.classicshell.net/

When windows 10 first arrived MS tried to change to an ios style system imo. As mentioned above they said to keep a similar experience across devices, but in reality I think they wanted to control and make money off everyone's software like Apple's app store. They alienated most of the Windows user base and tried to go back toward windows 7, maybe 30% which was better but still sucks.
Lol Steve jobs was asking money in the streets ^^That why I hate Bill Gates.
A multi Billionare.... and his system is flawed to the 100th degree.
And then theres Google... everything they do works well

Did you try glass8.eu? It has a nice win7 skinMan, that is great....don’t know how I ever missed this! Years ago I installed something called Start8 or something like that, and it was buggy crap. This classic shell is the sh!t, thanks! The only thing missing now is a way to change the border padding of the windows like you could in 7.
