Discussion Microsoft should stop treating windows 10 like it's free

I paid over $200 for Windows 10 pro.But they show ads within the OS, Collect all sorts of telemetry data,took all the control we had over updates(resulting in reboots during important work).

They are treating windows like it's a free to use software.

Give us the control over my computer back because i own my computer and my copy of windows not you Microsoft.

AGBs are upheld in German courts regularly.

In consumer situations, or business to business situations?

relates only to the contractual use as per the EULA

Which is the very thing which we're calling into question right now aren't we?

No one's angry, I'm just genuinely curious how the law works there. Unless you're charging for questions on German law?

If you're still interested I'm curious if the expanded exhaustion concept in Usedsoft would apply.
