Hmmmm, more crap I don’t care about tacked onto an OS I’d never use. That Microsoft marketing juggernaut is just matching right along!
They're desperate to regain the commanding position they had for decades, up to when Ballmer's pi$$-poor vision caught up to them and he was ousted (three years ago this coming week, BTW).
Nadella is doing better in many ways, but they are thrashing as they try to figure out what the hell happened, and correct it. My take is that at this point they're only riding on their remaining percentage of the desktop/laptop user base -- once a monopoly, now a shrinking market. They have a very nice product in the Surface series. Windows 10 was pretty attractive when it was free. But they had better figure out how to make it more attractive at a profitable sales price. My guess is that moves like this update are part of that strategy.
