I love the periodical "Let's finish setting up your PC" screens Windows springs on you before you get to desktop (hexbear.net)

They always give you a scare since it looks like Windows is booting into a recovery environment. Just had one, and the only options I had were "Remind me in 3 days" and "Continue".

It's always about Microsoft wanting you to set Edge as your default browser as well as trying to get you to log in on a Microsoft account and you have to individually decline every suggestion since you can't just skip the fucking thing.

Piss off, Microsoft

Speaking of shilling, back when Starfield came out Microsoft snuck in ads for Starfield into the "Windows spotlight" lock screen photo rotation. That stunt really pissed me off since it's one of the Windows 10 features I actually like agony-shivering

I hate the slimy and overbearing way MS tries to keep hoisting its browser and MS accounts on you. I also hate all the useless clutter they shove into the OS interface, like MSN news, both in the Start Menu and as a separate taskbar widget. Don't need shitty celeb gossip, thank you
