Yes, I know.
But it's not like these people actually love ads all over the place, or bing results in start menus, or popups asking them to pwetty pwease use OneDrive, or can you pwetty pwetty pwease use Edge instead of Chrome, they just either:
don't know they can get rid of that stuff
don't trust tools and are afraid they'll break something or the tools will contain a virus
don't care enough to research this crap
view using their PC as a chore anyway, and so power through the annoyances
I don't own a Mac, and don't intend to, but of the biggest things people like about them is that there are far fewer of these types of annoyances.
It's not just extreme power users that can be irked by all this crap - they're just the ones who do things about it and chat on forums about it. A normal person just sighs and thinks ugh I'd rather just do this on my phone
Damn, good one.
