Then why is it posted here?

This is a marketing post, in a place where it doesn't belong, complaining about marketing being where it doesn't belong.

Apparently that's lost on at least a few regulars. Or more likely, they are upset that we don't want to see their garbage here too

I appreciate it being posted, because I don't run stock windows, yet I deal with supporting many windows users. It's not something they'll raise with me if it's not completely breaking their workflow, so it's nice to know what is the latest badness I should be disabling.

Okay. Fair enough. But wouldn't a post be better simply explaining that a basic setting or group policy exists rather than complaining on an ad packed page for more paragraphs than you care to read?
