      There’s no apparent way to disable the Microsoft 365 account manager in the Start menu, and there’s no option to deactivate the constant nagging to upgrade to a paid Microsoft 365 subscription.

      Sounds like an ad to me.

        It’s a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It’s not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account

          I don’t use windows, stop assuming things about me

          Seems a bit silly to comment confidently on changes happening within Windows that you don’t experience then, no?

            This isn’t out on windows neither. This article is a rewording of another article that seems to be a mix of data mining and speculation. So having the same information as everyone else, I don’t see any issue with commenting on it

          That didn’t happen.

          And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. <–

          And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

          And if it is, that’s not Microsoft’s fault.

          And if it was, they didn’t mean it.

          And if they did, you deserved it.

          It’s not Microsofts account for starters, its also not their computer. Its a user account on the customers computer.

          Linux mint doesn’t try and steal your content to train an AI. It’s also a much nicer experience in a lot of ways

            What about trying to install Windows 11 with a local account instead of using a Microsoft account?

            Shift + F10 -> Enter: oobe\bypassnro followed by… you know what? Try: format C:\. And install Linux already.
