Didn’t they always promote in settings? Or is this an actual ad?
I’ve used Windows since 95 this is the first time I’ve heard of an ad in any os’s settings.
Don’t they beg you to sign in, enable one drive, etc.?
Yeah probably I stopped using windows after 7 but that wasn’t in the settings.
I’ve used up to 10 actually, mostly in VMs otherwise all that shit is disabled by the university. It does pester you to sign in if you’re not. I’ve never signed in. I used 8 way back when it came out.
Taking a page from Apple’s book. The settings part of iOS has “warnings” if you aren’t using Apple add on services.
