The article doesn't give the obvious solution, of simply editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file and removing the microsoft repo line. My own view on this (and I don't run current versions of raspbian, I'm no fan boy), is that there is no malignant intent, they were careless and hadn't thought it through. As any follower of the rpi forums will know, they can be thin-skinned about criticism, and have got a bit defensive about this. They are currently altering the repo priorities so that no package in the Raspberry Pi OS repo's can be installed by "accident" from the Micro$oft repo. - a very sensible precaution. It doesn't stop the call to the MS repo. every "apt update" though (unless you remove the repo from the sources.list file!). Jim
