    isn’t the windows search bar a giant always on ad for edge and Bing?

    also windows advertises a lot of their cloud/subscription services in notifications and settings to me

      I suppose - I always disable it as part of my initial setup steps, I have actually never used it.

      I’ve only seen shilling for 360 in the account panel, though. Never in the notification tray.

        yeah, through registry keys

        no normal user is going to do that

          Registry is just the settings panel in windows now

          But the normal user can download random programs off the internet to do it for them

            bloat at best, virus at worst

            regedit isn’t hard enough to justify a registry editor app

              We are talking about normal users

              The ones whom in yesteryear would have half their browser be toolbars
