I would really like to see a Microsoft person try to explain why Windows, even on a corporate machine like this, comes with Disney+, Roblox, Pinterest & co pinned to the start menu. Which company admin wants their employees to have this?

@Techaltar enterprise architect speaking. Nobody deploys Window like this.

Equally baffling: why do I, a paying user of the Office suite, get a full screen feed of shitty "news" in the Outlook app? Surely the 3 cents they make on some boomer accidentally opening the "channels" tab and clicking on one of the gigantic ads in it isn't worth all of their apps feeling like a scam?

@Techaltar 'if the product is free you are the product' has been enshittified

@Techaltar somebody did not give a flying f. If you are genuinly interested, Intune Autopilot Deployment Profiles are your keywords. Works similar to managed Android and iOS devices. Enter company email and login. Then watch magic happen.

@Techaltar they sell the tools to control access to the stuff.

@Techaltar yeah, came back to windows after ~5 years working on Linux and I have to say the experience is pretty harsh :
- Ads everywhere, including the lockscreen where I explicitly disabled it (but apparently ads for Bing's LLM don't count)
- Bloated : the OS takes 140GB on a 200GB drive. Uploading a file from a browser takes 75% CPU
- Constantly push edge
- It is sooo unstable, I thought Linux was the nerdy OS that required constant tinkering, but I never spent so much time fixing buggy shit
