Microsoft is completely blacklisted for me since a few years, and they keep reinforcing my decision. Few companies are so blatantly user-hostile.

On my work laptop, I’m a very happy Microsoft user. I’m assuming all shitty Microsoft behavior is turned off via policies, and even if not, it’s only my work mail and data. The apps work very well, Copilot is nice, the software even looks good. No complaints.

On my personal laptop where I cannot get enterprise licenses or preferential treatment, I’m not touching MS stuff even with a loooong stick.

As an enterprise Microsoft customer, you are treated to the same group policies as everyone else, with one difference that you can reduce OS telemetry collection to “Basic”.

There is no way to go radio silent without ring-fencing the OS within the network.
