    Oh no, they’ve added things too. Just not things anyone should want.

    The worst part these days is “de-cloud-ifying” a fresh Windows install. The post-install setup wizard is… aggressive, about shoving Azure services in the user’s face. It does about everything it can to make these optional things look mandatory. Cleaning that mess up is practically an assumed part of the process now, IMO.

    In the end, it was kind of a trek to find all the things to disable or turn off. It also does not bode well for the concept of private data and “opt in” of cloud services.

      I’m going to build a really good win10 PC to get the most out of it for as long as I can…

      Yeah…I am not trying to have all my important shit in the “cloud” 1) because I have to pay for the ability 2) it’s never as fast as they say 3) no chance they’re not using it to train AI (why should they get paid for my content instead of me) and they’re definitely selling it to marketers.

      I’m going to sound like a complete sociopath but I miss Windows 8.
