Microsoft consistently breaking their own records for most anti-consumer tech company

they say that if you dont pay, you are the product.

Not true, *even if you do* pay you are still the product.

Those crazy Linux guys might be onto something…

Windows blocking official OS updates because of using StartAllBack - custom taskbar, is much worse than having start menu ads.

[zadyeDK]

so we pay for the license and now we gotta live with ads?

[OrionKaelinClips]

Ads _might_ be acceptable on free and non-activated installs of Windows, but not on fully paid for and activated ones.

Remember how windows 7 was popular for like almost 10 years!

As if I needed more reasons not to downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

[massformationpsychosis]

Why are all these big corporations purposely hurting themselves? Like legit, why?

If windows starts forcing ads onto me, I will switch to Linux

[PaV_Live]

Been happily using Linux as my main OS for about 3 or 4 years now. Gaming, chatting, video editing, general content creation, its all been more than possible.
I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say its been a flawless, perfectly compatible experience. I've had to make a few sacrifices here and there. But the biggest thing Linux taught me is that no matter the task, no matter the odds, you CAN make it work. I've learned so much stuff I never even gave a single thought about on Windows.
And if some frustration means I don't have to put up with Michaelsoft's nonsense anymore, I feel like it's worth it!

When Microsoft makes Windows subscription based, I won't be surprised.

[nickvangeel]

God am i glad i switched to Linux years ago, was done with Microsoft's bullh*t

[filedotnix]

People forget that Windows 10 had ads in the start menu too, we just had a break from them. It doesn't make Windows 11 good, but ads in the start menu isn't a new thing.

I wasn’t aware that Weird Al Yankovic would be hosting TechLinked 😎

[john-wiggains]

Windows 11 is the best advertisement for Linux ever. I’ve never considered Linux and now I’m doing active research.

Windows 11 with start menu ads? No thanks, Linux here I come!

[cheeseisgreat]

I always love the features windows adds that I immediately turn off or find workarounds for once they’re released. I shut off those stupid taskbar information things, the window snapping, web search results in the search bar, and now I’ll have to shut off more dumb start menu things. They keep forgetting they’re supposed to be making my computer’s *operating system* and not an application. App features should need to be installed by the end user, not forced as a default.

[Jahus]

Windows 10 has always had "ads" in the recommended section of start menu..

[Gatsby_OW]

It's like Microsoft wants their users to switch to Mac or Linux
