    It is patently ridiculous one time.

    You remove them and they will never return.

    But the Linux community really likes to rave on about it as if it is the worst infraction since the holocaust. Just look at this comment section.

    The fact remains that OP used Windows for 45 minutes without even noticing. So it is really not that bad as many of you claim it is.

      until they revert your settings in the next update. Which happens. And then there’s the privacy invasion and intrusion they represent. You get to use what you want. But this is linuxmemes… you’re going to find more people hostile to MS here than you will in other vague computing forums. MS definitely deserves the hate, though. “Embrace. Extend. Extinguish” is still their motto.

        No that does not happen with the ads. Those only appear during a fresh install and can be clicked away in a matter of seconds.

        The only thing that happens with is sometimes Edge and recently the search bar once.

        MS deserves hate sure, but not the unwarranted hate some of you have here in the comments.

          I think it’s pretty warranted. Why would you put ads in my OS in the first place? It’s not a free OS either so no excuse to put ads on it.
