You are in a very unique position unlike any in all of human history -- somewhere between God and human. Your digital empire that you were handed, you have clumsily found your way and at times shamelessly wielded your power as with Sun Microsystems and others. As others have followed suite in modern times like Facebook and Google, society has almost surrendered to serfdom again. The battle almost not seeming worth the fight, and most of us feeling powerless. It feels futile. While the EU has tried to hold you guys to some level of accountability, the influence of your power and might is beyond all but God (for those of us who believe in a spiritual Father, Abba, God, Deity, Yahweh or for some deities. For everyone else, we pity their souls. For them, you are the ultimate authority.)
I wish to ask one small question of you on this forum today. I only ask questions on forums when exhaustive and often exhausting online searching doesn't bear fruit so please, read carefully, think long and hard and respond succinctly. Granted, yes you have no incentive to so yes, it is mindless to even make such a request, and thus why I am asking in an open forum like STACKOVERFLOW instead of a WINDOZE official forum (yes, misspelling is intentional for the effect that long timers in the frustrations from Windows 3.1 to 2000 to Millineum Edition to NT to 7 to 10 will identify) so those outside of the Microsoft privileged gates might be able to share some deep wisdom that only weeks or years of internet searches or even offline training or experience might provide, and perhaps we can add even more truly valuable content to the delightful World Wide Web -- our collective "intelligence."
I am not asking HOW TO UNINSTALL MICROSOFT PHONE. I have done that NUMEROUS times. Effective answers are located on many servers across the globe. My question is GENUINELY as stated in the TITLE. If anyone wishes me to be more specific, okay, here would be the more specific question for this isolated event that represents a particularly nasty habit of Microsoft, Google and Facebook (though by abstraction from OS to SaaS):
I have uninstalled Microsoft Phone several times. How do I prevent you from reinstalling it ever again?
In case you are wondering, even though yes I did just throw MS PHONE off to the side the first two times. The third time you forced it upon me, I went ahead and tried to appease the MS "gods" and tried to learn what it is and if I might actually like it -- I didn't. I do not wish to detail why here. My question, YET AGAIN, is How do I keep you from forcing software I do not want? In particular, to narrow the topic down, I am asking MS Phone for right now. I have literally uninstalled it at least half a dozen times since you introduced this product. The timeline feels likek 3 years now. It may be 2 or 4 years. I do not know.
In closing, to the larger community, yes I do realize many have chosen the path to freedom offered by their preferred distro of Linux. I do realize that is an option. I am, however, one who does like the shiney, pretty, bells and whistles of the deceptive giant even though the bully is abusive and unappreciative. It is simply nicer and more consistent even if not free like Apple's and Google's and Torvald's options.
As for Microsoft, I hope you can appreciate that I am still hanging in there, giving you a chance despite years of abuse from you. I am also publicly giving you "props" for nearly growing into the britches that society so graciously and mysteriously laid at your feet (one of the many enigmas for humanity). Though I cannot offer you forgiveness this side of eternity, if you wish to endear me even further, make your OS free. I do not mind paying for a license to Office. Cell phones are affordable because profit is made on services. You have the same opportunity with the OS, and while it has taken you a while to become a good software developer, you are finally decent some 30 years later (let's call it).
Thank you.
