[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1063771"] Yep, [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] was the first who got tired of adding bloatware by Edge, but there were many other MT-members getting tired of Microsoft pushing its personalized services upon Edge users (apologize for not mentioning other MT-members by name, but I recall there were quite a few). I read an article about "feature churn" (losing customers due to adding features they did not ask for). It seems that the average feature churn is less than 15 percent, so we are a minority (and "big data and advertising benefits" outweigh by far the customers being chased away by the bloat). I am afraid this trend (adding features to increase customer lock-in) will be a fact of life for years to come. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
