I really am hating the "push marketing" crap Microsoft has been building into Windows (widgets), Bing Home and Start pages,, Microsoft Start, and now Edge Collections. I want my information to be private. If I want to look for something I can do so, I do not want my time and attention to be wasted with any push marketing crap. Especially in areas where it does not belong. I should be able to use a computer and my phone without being subjected to crap load of push marketing. This is originally what took MSN (the horrific progeny of Netscape search) and Yahoo down the path of being the least used and least favorite search engine.
I have been a proud and unapologetic Microsoft supporter to the point that all that know me, have me surnamed, Microsoft's Freak Defender. With all of this new push marketing, Microsoft will lose me, heck I may even move to using an Apple computer and Chrome, my heretofore hated enemies.

These discussion board begin to look like a waste of time.
I can get most of routine work done with Linux. Linux Devs have enthusiasm and do respond. Any that don't can be cast aside for others. Competition seems not to affect Microsoft- JLFAAOct 12, 2023Brass ContributorYes, that's it. And now, those who activated Windows 11 with a Win 7 or Win 8 key will lose activation in case of a simple clean reinstall or hardware change (I am not talking about OEM keys). Microsoft want us to adopt Windows 11, right? Sure, buy a key for more than 200 Euros on MS Store.
