Submission + - Microsoft is TOO F---ing aggressive
J. L. Tympanum writes: I keep getting popups on my peecee saying "Microsoft phone link has stopped working."
1. What is this thing, and why do I care if it has stopped working?
2. After some surfing I find out it is some code (no doubt badly written and full of bugs and security holes) that connects the peecee to my phone.
3. I neither asked for this feature nor do I want it.
4. A little more surfing and I find out how to disable "phone link".
5. I still keep getting this damn popup. Obviously, whatever is detecting that "phone link" is not working doesn't bother to determine if the user (i.e., me) WANTS it to be not working.
6. After I lot more surfing I still don't know how to suppress this damn popup.
7. MS needs to be suppressed.
