There are a nearly infinite number of Windows settings that might strike you as problems. Cool! We don’t have to agree. In particular, I am not going to get into the privacy settings, which drive some people to distraction. I’m fine with Microsoft getting diagnostic feedback, and if we’re going to see ads (and we are), I would rather have them be targeted so there’s at least a faint chance that they’ll be relevant to me. Track down articles about Windows privacy if that stuff bothers you.
