    Don’t you understand that being constantly nagged to use their products so they can monotise you is disrespectful? Would you keep a friend who started every conversation with a pitch for their MLM? I mean you’re not obligated!

    I understand that it’s just business, but to me that’s just capitalist Nirenberg defense. So please don’t respond with some version of “it is what it is”, because I view that as learned helplessness.

    EDIT: what Windows users might not get is that booting into Windows occasionally means that it’s going to bombard you with an avalanche of pop ups and nag-dialogues that a person who’s logging in every day might not appreciate.

    Sure you can silence most of that, until the next necessary security update.

      I’m not sure what you’re talking about because I just don’t get any of those.

      1. I never installed anything related to 365
      2. I opted out of onedrive
      3. I turned off copilot

      And I never get popups for them. I main Xubuntu but probably spend half my time in Windows 11 for software development and W11 is basically just a visual studio machine for me. I upgraded my CPU recently and it’s pretty snappy now, too!

      I’m not saying your view is wrong, I’m just saying that your experience has been completely different from mine apparently
