OREANDA-NEWS Entrepreneur Elon Musk criticized Windows computers because of the complicated setup procedure. The billionaire told about this in his X.

According to Musk, he bought a new laptop, but could not immediately start using it: "I can't start working until I create a Microsoft account," complained the head of Tesla and SpaceX. Musk complained that after creating an account, Microsoft's artificial intelligence (AI) would gain access to his data. "It used to be possible to skip the creation of a Microsoft account. Are you facing this too?" the author asked the subscribers.

X users objected that when setting up a computer, you can skip the option of creating a Microsoft account. Elon Musk responded that it is possible to create a local account when installing Windows without the Internet, but then the system will still offer to activate the account. "This is not cool from Microsoft," Musk summed up.

"I agree, it's annoying. Freedom and ease of choice are important in this regard," user Lex Fridman agreed with the entrepreneur. "Bill Gates likes to impose something on people without their consent," the author noted under the nickname Luke Rudkowski, alluding to the founder of Microsoft.

In mid-February, the American company Google began to poach users of old PCs that do not support the installation of current Windows. The corresponding ads from ChromeOS were found on the Internet.
