My girlfriend recently had a popup from microsoft urging her to use bing instead of google for a few days in return for a few bucks (I think it was amazon credit). I was simply astonished, windows really didn't seem like a tool anymore but just someone trying to sell you something or get your data. Also it's tacky. As I personally haven't used windows for years I really was in disbelief seeing it.
How can you work professionally with something like this?

- somerandomqaguy 3y agoProbably same way as usual. By IT disabling those those popups via group policy. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#showrecommendationsenabled https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-...
- LeanderK 3y agothis is truly absurd. I bet there are quite a few small businesses/self employed people getting popups all the time. I really can't believe how you can damage your product this much, it's like if they have no respect for windows. I can't that IT has to disable those ads via group policy.
