Option to completely remove Microsoft News Feed

Cameron_Bush this feature is now directly under the task bar widget within the beta version of Windows, and though you can turn the widget off, if you go to website and look at your feed, there is not an option to tell microsoft not to suggest or offer stories / articles, however you can hide publishers. Though you have the option to add your own publishers you are interested in from here: Microsoft News (msn.com) - You are still bombarded with what ever the algorithms used by Microsoft think is "For you" .

Honestly, the weather and need to know like local school closing, road closures and things like that are all I want. Unfortunately, I did not see my local govdelivery sites listed and I am not interested in mainstream national and world publishers, but I do not have a choice. Cool software and gadgets, and looks like they work, but the content is garbage and not really relavent "For me"

Looks like this is a good place for this topic and though there is a way to disable where your newsfeed appears, it still has a persona and builds a feed if ever you open anything that uses that Microsoft News Feed API. Only gives the illusion it is gone, sorry.
