    Microsoft needs to get on this. I would pay money out of my own pocket to be able to upgrade my Windows 11 to hardcore mode at work just so I didn’t have to deal with all of their AI and tracking bullshit.

    And actually I know the company I work for would pay to upgrade all of their employees to the same level. Like they’re sitting on millions of dollars of profit to just be able to turn off the bullshit they’re forcing on us.

      Windows 11 ltsc is Windows with all the copilot stuff removed. Doesn’t even have Windows store. It is what the Pro version of Windows should have been. Was impressed after installing it since even Windows 10 after clean install had bunch of crap like tiktok and messenger to remove. LTSC is the closest to what Windows used to be back in Windows 7 when an OS was just as OS opposed to trying to push people to make online accounts to log into.

      create problem, offer to fix problem if you pay… seems kind of like extortion, or in the very least abuse of monopoly powers
