#2Here's a better idea - show Microsoft that you don't accept this type of behaviour by switching products/services.
I'm aware that Windows 10 is a "free" OS, but trying to ram this type of behaviour down my throat is despicable unethical behaviour and I don't condone it. It is why I've switched to Linux for my daily computing needs.

Windows 10 is not free. The "free upgrade" period is over. MSRP for Windows 10 Home is $119.

#5Interesting. Chromebooks are cheaper and ChromeOS doesn't shove ads to users' faces. Who's scroogled now?

Switch to Linux.
Windows 10 Home is now $119 and tracks you. Microsoft is trying to sell you a product and monetize your behavior. They are pursuing a way to maintain their cash cow and have an avenue to push Google out.

Of course not. It tracks your behavior, and adds the ads later. Why is that better, exactly?

I tried that quite a few times on a rarer pc setup (intel nuc 6i7kyk, 6i5syk). Doesn't usually end that well. What windows has that works great is the driver support, graphics drivers in particular. On ubuntu and mint especially. I'll try building a Ryzen pc this summer to see how well that works though.

This is not that easy - some software is Windows only and it doesn't work under WINE etc.
