Is there anything Microsoft Isn't doing, or attempting to do, with the Windows OS?

I wonder what's next.

I hope there's a way to turn it off if they do actually put this in the stable versions.
What's next is that there's gonna be ads in the calendar, you never know. xD

I'm sure someone will release a tool to permanently disable It.

Or perhaps It can be done via the Registry or the Group Policy Editor.

Yeah true, it's good that we don't have to entirely rely on Microsoft.

Turns out that Microsoft also added more bloat in the new context menus, they added some video editor called ClipChamp (a video editor that Microsoft acquired on 22nd November last year), looking at their website it looks like some random shitty free video editor.

From the same article (in the comments): https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/mi...-explorer/

EDIT: It looks like they are going to install this stupid video editor by default aswell: https://www.itpro.co.uk/operating-system...windows-11

Yet another piece of garbage added.

It's pretty simple - If you want a video editor, or any software for that matter, download and Install It yourself. We don't need Microsoft to make Implementations on what they believe would benefit users.

Title made me think 3rd party ads. OneDrive was already being pushed, but I could see this getting worse.

I can already see myself spamming the hell out of UserVoice / feedback portal if they push this crap into a final release.
