this is how you know they’re afraid of Linux
Truly finally shooketh
I see you’re using language from the time it was first announced that “this is the year of the Linux desktop!”.
The true true.
But they are also lying. They are not going to let people fully opt out of the one feature which has literally been the foundation of their entire business model for a decade.
Until they don’t. Cause that’s what they always do
Until Windows 12 brings it back. In the interem Windows 11 now ask you every 15 minutes if you want to sign up for OneDrive, probably.
Or the next windows 11 feature update
Oh, you won’t be able to store anything on local storage, just your personal SharePoint site through OneDrive. The one drive you’ll ever need! If you’re not online, your computer will wait until you are.
Too late, changed all my family’s computers to Linux. Even my 70 years old dad, who learned to use computers with Windows 95, prefer it to Windows now 😆.
My methods may have been a bit underhanded, but it worked flawlessly 😆
Windows 98 theme? ;-)
Deleting by “error” the windows partition, with of course no time to reinstall until at least a month.
By the time I came back to “reinstall”, he told me “No need, I got used to it.” .😆
Note : he had all his files on a NAS, so nothing of value was lost
Too little too late. I’ve no windows machines left and deleted my microsoft account.
Adding to the chorus: switched to Linux. No regrets. Plays all my video games, watches my media, does my coding and office work.

probably due to the amount of pushback from users getting automatically opted-in with ‘backup’ enabled, and then immediately running out of ‘free’ space… because 5 gigabytes of space isn’t very much at all.

Be me, watching microsoft fuckery for 100 years. *roll eyes*
Next week….
Will they finally allow local accounts again
they will slowly introduce it(AI/W11 or even 12 in the future) over the years and making un-opt outable.
