Perhaps the decline of Apple finally starts. And a startup will take their place eventually.

if only Microsoft was not trying to sneak ads everywhere, this could be a moment for MS Phone

I am so confused when people say this. Microsoft Windows Professional allows you to configure any such things. I have almost all telemetry off, all permissions off, all notifications off, all ads off. I don't see this ad riddled Windows that people speak about.

I am not surprised when I hear 'normies' complain about this, because they mostly run OEM Windows Home which the vendors of their devices decided is OK, but on a forum such as this one, I am surprised to hear these kind of complaints.

* Everything is configurable from the Privacy Settings with an on / off toggle

* Whenever a new invasive option gets pushed with an update, there's an update screen which allows you to disable it and is disabled by default, so by skipping, you don't enable it

At least this is how I perceive my machine.

Hey Cortana, define confirmation bias. You say you have to disable ads manually and then go on saying "I don't see this ad riddled Windows". Are you being serious?

Good for you for buying Windows Pro, what about everybody and their grandma else stuck on Home? I guess they don't count. Fucking normies.

Please re-read my argument. I expect more from this community.
