Windows treats you as being protected by European norms so you don’t have to experience all the bullshit… I’ve never seen any of the ads people keep talking about, I don’t live in Europe, I just tell Windows to use English UK as Windows’ language and then set my regional stuff based on what I actually want.
I dont see start menu ads? I see the account manager button will take you to your m365 account instead of your local account settings. This is what’s inside the article, i dont know where they got the title from.
Honestly I prefer this to Microsoft Edge stealing (importing) all my chrome passwords and bookmarks without my consent. Something they do from time to time.
I was planning on reinstalling windows on my desktop (apparently removing a basically blank hard drive prevents windows from booting) until I saw this. Now I have two arch machines lol
