And I don't get that kind of bootlicking mentality.

Google services are (mostly) free. Advertisements come with the territory. As for 'pushing', I'm using the search and youtube daily and I don't even have a google account.

Windows 10 Pro is 200$. In what world is that acceptable to bundle spyware, crapware and advertisements with it?

>And I think it's really bad practice to use scripts that break standard behavior of windows and nothing that should be encouraged to non technical people

"Don't ask questions, just consume the product". Keep enabling that shit, and in a few decades it will be illegal to tinker with your own fucking computer.

It's 200€, and my computer that is 10 years old can be kept up to date. Upgrades are really fast. I really think that it is a rock solid operating system that opens up a lot of possibilities for developer while offering long term compatibility and stability. At least windows leaves you the possibility to remove any promoted app or suggestion. But like I said. I still think they should stop that ridiculous behavior. Just saying that the os is nonetheless great.
