I realize that advertising and marketing are part of and essential to a free and open market system and a capitalism based economy, but corporations and businesses have proven that they are incapable of regulating themselves when it comes to how intrusive their advertising and marketing practices are or might become in the digital age. Google, Apple and Microsoft have all demonstrated that competition for advertising and marketing dollars drives the saturation level and intrusiveness of these practices. Many websites have far, far more ads and marketing content than what is required to pay for the existence of the website. Some weather information websites have three times as much advertising and marketing content as weather information, which makes you wonder whether the website exists for providing the weather information or the ads. Perhaps the Federal Trade Commission can regulate such things; that is one of the reasons government exists after all, to regulate the excesses of capitalism and competition on behalf of the people for whom the government exists. Otherwise, the people themselves will have to organize in other ways to regulate these excesses, such as through organized boycotts of businesses and products.
“Why were you even testing it internally in the first place?”
Because that’s their way. It was no accident, but a false flag operation to test public reception.
Yup, good observation. Micro$oft just wants to see how much they can get away with. They are not professional or mature at all. They remind me of a 10-year-old that keeps testing limits. This way, they don’t have to take any responsibility for the idiotic ideas they have on how to make more money.
Not once will “how will this benefit the users?” have entered their heads.
You are just a product to them, you will do what they say and use YOUR computer how THEY decide.
And that’s why I’m still on W7..
Fixed it. 🙂
“The future of hybrid work”: I imagine MS is going to announce plans to introduce something to make easy to work both from home and at the office in different days. “Teams” is widely used by some government Agencies, such as NASA, here in the USA, so I suppose this would be about building, changing, adapting what they already have for telecommuting and adding other pieces to this particular puzzle.
Having said that, this “hybrid” topic and the advertising topic, it seems to me, are very much unrelated.
On a personal note on ads: I am hardly ever bothered by advertising because I am a determined user of ad-blocking software and only relent in some very especial cases, when I really need to read something at a site that tells me not to use the adblocker there. Otherwise, when I see that message telling me that in a box blocking the content from being read, I skip the site.

Microsoft has defined and described hybrid work numerous times over the last year or more:

What personal information has been requested?
Let’s see. From the linked site not much explanation.

Hybrid work….

Many (most) Hybrids are non-productive.
