Yup. I don't understand why people choose to rag on Microsoft when literally everyone else who has something to sell you besides the OS itself, does this. Maybe it's because Windows is from the era when MS was not a services company, and people, by force of inertia, expect windows to continue behaving as if MS is not a services company.
- orwin 4y agoRedhat have something else to sell besides the Os and don't for that. Not a Redhat user BTW.
- withinboredom 4y agoI guess you haven’t read their documentation…
- eviks 4y agoI don't understand what is there to not understand: + Windows is very popular (so awareness is higher) + This behavior is bad and annoying = many people complain
- WeylandYutani 4y agoPeople have been using Windows since 1995. Long before ads and services in OS were normalised.
- eviks 4y agogood extra point. Change to the worse is indeed more noticeable
- dmonitor 4y agoYou’re right that it’s a double standard, but to an extent, when I buy an Apple device I know what I’m getting into. Lots of people buy Apple because of the integration. Not many people are forced into using macOS, but many many people are forced to use Windows thanks to Microsoft’s anti-competitive policies. Windows is also adding this bullshit after decades of being bullshit-free, and even when you do sign up for all their services the overall experience of using them sucks ass compared to the Apple implementation.
