Don't forget the OS built by a megacorp snorkeling up all your data anyways
..that they ask you to actually pay for the privilege. Because remember, windows isn't actually free (and you pay for it if you buy a pre-built).
I feel it's important to point out that you can simply not activate Windows and use it indefinitely
Does make you wonder though where Microsoft is getting that money from
Corporate Users. My guess is, that almost any office job where you work on a Computer has Windows as OS. You have a license for your job. The license for home usage is bonus money to Microsoft.
At least I can mostly opt out there. Or use Linux
Sure if you trust that the opt-out switches actually work.
They must do something, or Windows wouldn't constantly turn them back on with every other update.
Maybe that’s just what they want you to think.
For all we know, Windows forgot to actually implement the settings /s
and don't get reset the next update.
Do you think Microsoft wants to get sued by the EU?
Those opt-out work. Or at least in the EU they do.
