I have several popups per day trying to convince me on... i.e. how good the Office 365 is
Note that I have not formated yet... OEM Laptop came with some preinstalled software (trial versions) that I have never started or activated but they won't stop saying how cool that feature or how easy is to activate or whatever...
I know... a format and a clean install will take it away, but people without enough confidence to do it has only two options... get pissed off by the damm annoying and often popups or pay and activate with the hope they will let him in peace.

I have 3 Win10 machines and that only happened on one of them and I think there was a "do not show again" type of checkbox because they went away pretty quickly.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yes, but it can be disabled..

Not so on Windows 10 Creator Update.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Microsoft published a rather lengthy and technical description of the nature of the data when it's configured to only send basic data. I've read it; have you? And based on that, I'm not terribly concerned about Microsoft trying to build a user profile based on that information and selling it to third parties.
And I say that despite the built-in ads.

I think you're missing the point. When I select "off" I expect it to be "off", not to be "only on a little bit".. 
Imagine if everything worked this way..

So I've had this damn rabbit tied down on top of a few regular, a few dyed, and a few Cadbury Chocolate eggs for almost a week, now. How long will it take for something to happen?

Or even worse: JavaScriptor

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
