Long term service enterprise/educational edition that doesn't come with cortana, ads, or (n edition) media stuff and does activate from 'your organizations' totally legit server

You would like it. Imagine the tech of win10 at the 'users are a product' level of win7. Regular education edition is fine though and super widely available for cheap, almost everyone on n editions is going to install the media pack about 5 mins in anyways

I work for a school and we install Windows 10 enterprise without turning off any of the ads, store, store search, or Cortana poo poo cause we're an unapologetic waste of public funds.

it's pretty good, no forced feature updates, but still has forced security updates which is fine by me, no store, no ads in my god drat OS

I really wish I didn't have to use my MSDN access to get it, I wish windows "pro" still actually meant something. this should be what you get at the consumer "pro" level, let grandma have her built in games and media editing or whatever

In every sci-fi movie or TV show ever made, when somebody wants to talk to a computer they say "computer". I won't use any of these services until I can say "computer" to turn them on.

That's dangerous though because you might use the word computer at some other time and then it perks up and is listening to what you say. "Bitch if you don't get off the computer I'm going to have to call you an ambulance cuz you're taking a fast trip down the stairs" and then boom an ambulance shows up when you don't want it because your computer was like "oh poo poo 911".

You gotta think of it like a safe word during rough sex, pick something that's not likely to come up.

Mostly pseudo-random.
Cortana please search for Minecraft sex porn bobs and verginas.

I have that stuff turned off on my main machine. Surprisingly setting up a local account (instead of a ms one) makes it a whole lot easier to keep it from activating too.

It actually makes perfect sense. Siri is a pretty normal name in Scandinavia so it causes a bunch of problems for people with iPhones.

Also iirc she is the villian of the latest game so yeah that was smart microsoft.

The same Siri/Cortana format, but she’d only be able to talk about contemporary nostalgia subjects and how much fun things used to be when you were a kid having Mario Party sleepovers with your friends.
