Turns out they don't like people disabling their adware.

I don't get people reacting to Windows critique with that "there are scripts and tools to disable anything", some even have the gall to compare it to how I use Linux.

When we are talking about adware and spyware right from the vendor, who has the figurative "make shit really mandatory" button. Who is all-powerful there.
