Even if you can't cleanly remove it, you can probably delete a few system files and break it. It's not like the whole thing will be baked into kernel32.dll.
Good point. Sounds like the kind of company I want to do business with. /s
Not yet...
Sometimes you have to fight with the OS to make it work but that should be due to a bug (or my incompetence in using it). When it's not working because it's actually working on someone else's behalf you can probably delete the whole fucking thing mate.
I'm actually enjoying the Linux learning curve because I know it's not working against my interests.
On the other hand, every time I've had to go "under the hood" with Windows (Registry settings, config files) it's been to prevent Microsoft from doing something sh*tty to me.
Cortana and IE break the OS if you fuck with the registry hard enough. When I deploy W11 to my building I wonder how much GP is gonna need to be setup to fix this bullshit
