How many different ad screens are on windows 11? How many privacy things did I need to check or uncheck for privacy? Why did the ads come back after I disabled it? Why did onedrive takeover my documents?
Microsoft isnt trustworthy.
I have begun my migration away. I only use Microsoft for programs my customers use. MSTeams(webapp isnt good enough for high stakes b2b), and Windows for a specific niche application.
Everything Microsoft says is met with an anti-consumer lens. They earned it.
This feature wouldn't even be the worst thing in the world if it was strictly opt-in like every other piece of software you would run on your computer; the reason everyone is so fucking sick of Microsoft's rollouts is the way they trample over user consent by replacing every instance of "No" in their UI with "Not now" or "Remind me later", eventually hijacking your computer and forcing it to shut down and install updates while you were using it if you dare postpone their "optional" rollout for too long
It's just extra funny when the software you're being bullied into nonconsensually installing on your own machine is also literally spyware that screenshots your desktop every few minutes
