New Delhi: Microsoft's recently launched Windows 10 has not got positive reviews from Mozilla CEO Chris Beard as per reports in the media.
Beard, in an open letter to Microsoft, has slammed the company for making it “harder for users” to change the default browser settings in Windows 10.
Beard, said that the system is “disturbing” and “an aggressive move” which makes it difficult for the users to use browsers such as Mozilla's Firefox, Google Chrome and others.
Referring to the new changes in the OS, Beard said, "It now takes more than twice the number of mouse clicks, scrolling through content and some technical sophistication for people to reassert the choices they had previously made in earlier versions of Windows".
Microsoft this week launched the Windows 10 across 190 countries globally. Available as a free upgrade for existing users of Windows 7 and 8.1, the new operating system is part of Microsoft's attempts to compete with rivals like Apple and Google.
While an estimated 1.5 billion machines run Windows, Apple's iOS and Google's Android based smartphones and tablets have emerged as strong competition to the Redmond-based firm.
With the new OS, Microsoft plans to offer a seamless experience to users across devices like PCs, tablets, smartphones and XBox (its gaming device).
