Microsoft has found a new way to piss off customers

Some things require special talent. Cooking requires patience and imagination. Soccer requires coordination and determination.

On the other hand, annoying your customers requires coolness and extreme indifference.

Too many big tech companies are into it. However, Microsoft has shown a special knack for annoying and even angering its customers. Unfortunately, the examples are limitless.

Who can forget the unlimited updates at the start of the Windows 10 release, or that the forces its customers to install Edge, in ways it borrowed from ; Others even worried that he was stealing them Chrome data.

Lately we've been noticing his trend to serve more and more ads, initially stating that it was done by mistake..

Last year, the home page of Outlook email was decorated with ads for things you don't want or already have.

Πολλοί ήταν αυτοί που παρακάλεσαν την εταιρεία να τις σταματήσει και η απάντηση ήταν: "Οι διαφημίσεις που σας ενθαρρύνουν να κάνετε λήψη του Edge ή να προσθέσετε μια εφαρμογή Outlook, στην πραγματικότητα δεν είναι καθόλου διαφημίσεις."

According to the company it is just information that reports new and applications.

Οπότε δεν υπάρχουν διαφημίσεις...

A Twitter user, Nick Smith, he was enraged too much with Microsoft for how it had done the Outlook app on iOS.

"Η εφαρμογή iOS @Outlook μου δείχνει διαφημίσεις που μοιάζουν με email τώρα". Και πρόσθεσε φανερά ενοχλημένος: "get the fuck outta here, @Microsoft."

Για να είμαστε απολύτως δίκαιοι, αυτή η διαφήμιση που έμοιαζε με email περιλάμβανε τη λέξη "Διαφήμιση" σε ένα μικρό κουτάκι. Ωστόσο, η διαφήμιση στο συγκεκριμένο σημείο, ενόχλησε και συνεχίζει να ενοχλεί όπως θα μπορείτε να δείτε σε ένα thread on Reddit. In the thread there are many users of the Outlook app (for iOS and Android) condemning the move.

Φυσικά αν προσπαθήσουμε να μεταφράσουμε της πράξεις της εταιρείας, από αυτά που έχουμε δει μέχρι σήμερα, μάλλον η λογική πίσω από αυτό δεν θα μας άρεσε: "Θα λαμβάνετε διαφημίσεις είτε σας αρέσει είτε όχι γιατί χρησιμοποιείτε την υπηρεσία μας δωρεάν" Ωστόσο η εταιρεία συνεχίζει να πουλάει τα Windows 10-11.

Big tech companies like Microsoft and Apple have long planned to run ads, as have other big tech companies like Google and Facebook, which have the motto that the customer is the product.

But what differentiates the last two companies is that they provide free products.

Our personal spaces have long been eroded and personal lives are not so personal anymore.

If a tech company can find a new way to make money off of us, they will.
