Ads: https://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-big-hidden-windows-8-feature-builtin-advertising They were working on it… and had it working in several places. Uninstallable IE: https://www.technorms.com/34477/uninstall-internet-explorer-11 While not literally uninstallable… they definitely made it a lot harder. Windows 7 was the last good version of windows.
