Officedocs-deployoffice: What is the first thing we do after setting up windows?

[mgrollejr]

Well after silencing Cortana and setting up a local user and not using a Microsoft Account? We install Chrome and set it up as the default browser. Why? Because Edge and Bing suck. Just one more hoop for admins to jump through.

Absolute stupidity from Microsoft, this needs to be stopped. As users we have a right of choice, I do not choose bing because I personally prefer another search provider, this is a disgrace and will take weeks to resolve as many clients don’t have group policy.

I have to laugh on a few levels. The biggest being, this is why MS had to create N editions of Windows, because they tried this with XP and the EU said No Choice = No Sell Here. Why can't MS learn from its mistakes?

Don't forget about blocking all the data collection stuff and disabling automatic updates
