I'm in a constant battle to keep it removed off our office machines. You can't remove it completely since its cached and installed with every user login. In order to get rid of it we would have to pay for the enterprise version. Just another rip off from macroshit.

This will drive more people to Linux. The forced migration to Win11 is already doing wonders with Linux adoption.

Subscriptions? Who pays a subscription for Windows?

[–] BlackAura@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For Microsoft 365 / Office 365.

So glad I just switched to Linux.

This shit is making me more & more glad I switched back to Linux. I’m even thinking of actually learning to code to continue its support. These businesses are just fully mask off at this point.

The sole reason for me owning a windows pc is that I use vMix which requires it as well a a nvidia graphics card. What I did is clean bloatware with Win11Debloat. Up to now nobody has been able to tell me how to effectively run vMix on Linux.

Disgusting $hit. Hopefully this will drive more people to Linux.

So glad I completely gave up on MS after Windows 7.

Complete clickbait article headline: the title should have been “for subscriptions where the payment method for the renewal failed”, not just for “expired subscriptions”. It’s to notify people who didn’t mean for their subscription to lapse that their payment method was refused.

Doesn’t make as “good” of a story then though, does it?

At this point if Microsoft released windows 12 for like 200$ with out any of the adware spying shit I probably would buy it. Hell make it 500$. They would probably make more than what they do selling your data.

And that’s why, sir, Massgrave exists.
