I can’t believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here’s a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It’s understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Couldn’t M$ make corporations deal with it anyways? It’s really not like they could just switch to Linux or Mac with their very specific BS piece of software of which every company has their own that runs on Windows only.
They could try but anything over a medium size business likely has a specific contract with Microsoft and they probably have language preventing this kind of thing. I know my company does. And there would be a ton of pushback from any security org that knows what they are doing, since ads are a common vector for security incidents.
Microsoft is already getting their money from the corpos, it’s the ‘freeloading’ public they are trying to squeeze revenue from.
Yeah, those bums who only paid for the software once.
If you saw an enterprise licensing agreement you’d know just how true this is. We pay for this shit over and over and over.
