    Microsoft arbitrarily changing my desktop wallpaper without permission


    If I were to log into Microsoft's campus and change all their workstation backgrounds to another image, they'd be rather unhappy. Why does Microsoft feel they have the right to change my wallpaper without my permission? Windows is an operating system, not a billboard. Oh and before the uber-curteous yet assumptive people jump in with how to change it back to Settings>Background>Picture. I've already done it. I'm only here to tell Microsoft, in writing, that if I want advertisements I'd watch commercial TV, not log onto my computer. I wish they'd take the hint.
