  This is not a Windows group, so let's not drift too much, but you
still can use Windows 10 and 11 without a Microsoft account and if you
answer no to all the 'prying' questions or/and set all 'prying' settings
to off, you get *no* ads, not from Microsoft, nor from any other
company. *Unless* of course, you're an paranoid American, because then
you deserve to get what you spread FUD, urban legends, etc. about! :-)
