This does some good, but Microsoft’s ever-increasing Windows system requirements is creating quite a bit of eWaste anyway. If Microsoft really gives a shit, they should slim down and optimize Windows rather than adding more telemetry, more ads, and random features no one wants or asked for.
Unrelated: They should also rejuvenate offline Office and bring back Works.
Unrelated, one other area where MS could make a big splash is hobbyist boards. An x86 SoC with BASIC would probably sell like crazy right about now with nostalgia cycle being where it is.
- hermannj314 4y agoI tried to create a local user account the other day and it was so unnecessarily obfuscated to me. I had to say I was creating a guest account and I didn't know their email - that is apparently what a "local" account is now in Windows, if either of those things aren't true you need to use Authenticator or Live or Passport or whatever it is called. And if my internet is spotty, I get a 10 second delay logging into my computer because my login screen needs to show me a picture/ad. I finally cancelled my annual 365 membership because the invasiveness had gotten to be too much and they don't deserve my money. I am sure if I upgraded to Windows Business Professional Home edition, I could pay for a Microsoft certification course to learn how to disable all these features, but I'd rather just switch to Linux.
