Yes, Microsoft is again trying to teach users what's best to use, safer, more productive to use... :) Playing nanny. This is the stuff that drew me away to Linux more than a decade ago. Just couldn't stand using an OS that tries too hard to make you do things their way, not your way. It's been going on since Win 7, even XP.
Of course they're going to use Windows to train their AI. What did anyone expect? And they'll succeed, because not many Windows users have enough knowledge to disable things in their OS. Big majority are just users who can barely use a mouse, a browser and Office apps. I keep seeing people who don't know where they saved a file they're working on... It's the result of dumbing down users by an OS like that and constantly changing things.
The way I use Linux has been 100% the same since I started using it. Even changing the distro or desktop environment doesn't matter much.
