I haven't seen much of any ads after I performed my post install clean ups.

I agree the pre installed games are a nuisance and need to go.

I can manage my updates by using the many tools provided in the Pro edition in later updates (1 year ago). You probably haven't seen those?

I don't mind Microsoft collecting telemetry that relates to Windows updates Vs hardware configurations. You don't really need so much of that in osx land as Apple owns all the core hardware. In Windows, there's many magnitudes more configs.

One should not be supposed to do manual clean-ups simply to have an OS that's ad free. We pay for Windows, after all.

The problem is that the "telemetry" is totally intransparent and uncontrollable. In the case of Office 365 there is no way to operate it inside the EU and conforming to the GDPR (https://www.datenschutz-notizen.de/office-16-und-office-365-...).
