    Yeah they’re following the IBM playbook of being the operating system that businesses run.

    I just wish they would take a hint and release a paid version that has none of the ads, none of the bloatware, and none of the bullshit.

    I feel confident that I could pay them just as much money as they would ever earn from mining my data and annoying the ever-loving fuck out of me and I would be happier about that.

    But since they won’t do that fortunately there’s things like Atlas OS.

      They kind of do already with Windows Enterprise (or Education) edition. Its certainly not exactly what everyone wants, but its significantly better than the lower versions.

      Many colleges and universities that have volume agreements allow their students to run Windows Education edition. If you’re in this situation, GET THIS. Not only does it not cost you anything, but you’ll have access to all the enterprise features for turning off lots of pushed garbage.
