    ABSOLUTELY DESPISE MICROSOFT FOR FORCING THEIR CRAP ON US.   HAVING AN OPTION IS ONE THING, BUT FORCE FEEDING THEIR GARBAGE NUISANCES IS QUITE THE OPPOSITE AND A DISGUSTING CORPORATE SOP.    **bleep** MICROSOFT AND THEIR NAZI OPINIONS AND THEIR NEWS CENSORS WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO COMPREHENSION OF CONTEXT OR VARIOUS MEANINGS FOR HE SAME WORDS.   IGNORANT TEAMS MAKES FOR IGNORANT DECISIONS -- PRECISELY WHAT MICROSOFT IS SO DETERMINED TO HAVE AS THEIR LEGACY.
