I think this entire thread is a waste of space and deserves its negative votes, but Microsoft of today is no better than google. They both sell spyware disguised as OSes and consumer devices.
Of course, and they can get all the hate they can for this. But for the stuff they did 40 years ago? Somehow I feel like that's water under the bridge at this point.

As Heraclitus said, no man ever steps in the same river twice.
Yet the river is just as eager to sweep you away as it ever was. Unless you intend to be willfully naive, past encounters with the river should inform your future expectations of the river. Who in the 1990s could have predicted that in the 2020s Microsoft would be a distributor of spyware? Every damn Microsoft critic saw that coming.
