Microsoft needs to get on this. I would pay money out of my own pocket to be able to upgrade my Windows 11 to hardcore mode at work just so I didn't have to deal with all of their AI and tracking bullshit.

And actually I know the company I work for would pay to upgrade all of their employees to the same level. Like they're sitting on millions of dollars of profit to just be able to turn off the bullshit they're forcing on us.

create problem, offer to fix problem if you pay... seems kind of like extortion, or in the very least abuse of monopoly powers

I'm willing to look the other way on this one.

Every time I image a PC, I have to run so many Windows 11 Debloat scripts and fixes to get rid of useless AI shit and then it just comes right back and it's such a pain. It's such a pain. I would gladly pay an annual amount of money to not have to deal with that pain.
