Are they going to ask or just do whatever they want with my computer?
This is why I don't date Microsoft employees.
"Your computer?" -- Microsoft probably
It certainly feels that way. I uninstall all the stuff I don't want and the bastards put it right back in the next update, alongside some new crap I didn't ask for.
There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust Windows. We are controlling Windows. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the firewall. We will control Windows Update. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.

When you use a closed source proprietary OS like Windows, you're renting, not buying. If you want to own, use Linux.
You have to spell no in ASCII.
