Can’t you just have an OS that doesn’t fight you constantly when you’re trying to use your computer the way you want?
NO!
Shareholders first
Not sure which shareholders benefit from this. I guess some must.
Those who have Apple shares worth more?.. But they’d be clueless to expect people to move to MacOS en masse if Windows gets unusable.
Sure you can. You can also spend time disabling intrusive telemetry, you can also spend time reverting half the UI changes (not the other half though), you can also spend time removing integrated services you don’t use but are still running, you can (regularly) change back some settings that gets reverted every once in a while, you can also block some IP to prevent intrusive ads, you can toggle off part of the “user experience” that bloat the lockscreen…
Or you could, I don’t know, not have to do any of that and still have a working system that’s not trying to bend you over.
On new install without logging in a Microsoft account?
