That's nice for the EU folks, elsewhere Microsoft has doubled down on this practice.

    If I were on a court or jury, I would rule that repeatedly showing an annoying pop up until you press Agree, doesn't count as actual acceptance of the terms, I don't care what the rules are but fuck that practice.

    I've just doubled down on not using Microsoft tbh. I shouldn't have to spend so much time and effort cleaning a clean install of an OS. And have updates change things so they don't work the same or at all any more, or you just can't find them. Fuck that.
