Not to defend MS, but those "ads" can be disabled, and he needs to

This a little off-topic. Better for FPC-Others
I can't find any excuse for Microsoft. The fact is that they have turn
computers into TVs with commercials but instead of shows/series/movies
they have software and instead of audience they have users, and instead
of commercials "ads" and datamining.
When did computers world go wrong?
One explanation I read is that this is the fault of open source:
This forces the 'big' companies to make software available for free,
and thus they now run on commercials.
Total nonsense of course; there is simply more money to be made using
commercials than using subscriptions. No-one wants to pay subscription money
for "basic" software.
That's probably also the problem that will kill Delphi faster sooner than
later :(
