I dislike this article because it hides important facts until the last section: “I am in touch with Microsoft about OneDrive Photos, and my early findings suggest that it was an unintended rollout. An apology should be coming soon.”
So, this journalist/news site shames Microsoft for doing something shitty, while doing something shitty themselves.
Doing unintended rollouts is also shameful. They’re a billion dollar corporation. There’s absolutely no excuse for something like that to happen. The journalist did nothing wrong to call them out.
It was not an unintended rollout, that’s them lying to save whatever face they may have left.
Back when I used windows, OneNote would reinstall itself like every week. I removed it, it came back. I corrupted all of it’s files, it repaired itself.
If memory serves me right. This is like the fourth unintended rollout in OneDrive history, on W11 at least. Every time our IT has to send an email to remind all staff how to disable computer wide backup and how to disable OneDrive in general. Since we don’t pay for it but MS still insist it should infect everything.
Each of these unintended rollout costs us millions of dollars of people’s time, since our organization has hundreds of thousands of employees all over the world.

This is just the bullshit that Microsoft does.
After how many “unintentional mishaps, woops teehee won’t do it again” can it be held against MS?
Strong disagree. Microsoft does this on the regular. They get no credit for their repeated ‘we’re sorry’.
