Not to defend MS, but those "ads" can be disabled, and he needs to change his default lock screen background. But, the reason I use (mostly) Linux over Windows is that FPC and Lazarus projects build and compile a lot faster on Linux :D

This a little off-topic. Better for FPC-Others
I can't find any excuse for Microsoft. The fact is that they have turn computers into TVs with commercials but instead of shows/series/movies they have software and instead of audience they have users, and instead of commercials "ads" and datamining.
When did computers world go wrong?

One explanation I read is that this is the fault of open source: This forces the 'big' companies to make software available for free, and thus they now run on commercials.

Total nonsense of course; there is simply more money to be made using commercials than using subscriptions. No-one wants to pay subscription money for "basic" software.

That's probably also the problem that will kill Delphi faster sooner than later :(
