Microsoft said it would cut Windows 11 ads, then put a Harry Potter ad on your desktop if you use Bing Wallpaper (www.windowslatest.com)

Have you forgotten or perhaps repressed the fact that the vast majority of people using a computer are using Windows 11?

There are a shitload of people who this affects.

    Well, that's their problem if they chose to continue to use it. And even while still being on it, there are now many ways, many tool to avoid those kind of scenarii. But hey, people won't try to look for a solution, it's much mote conveninent to complaint than to try to find solutions

    Well the whole article is basically complaining about Microsoft for doing their thing.

    With all that happened with windows 11 already, everyone knows perfectly well that things are not going to get better overtime, it's only gonna get worse..

    I don't get that trend of pointing out each new stupid feature they come up with.

    What should we expect, that they are finally going to listen, to do the right thing and start doing an OS for the people?

    We know it's garbage, so let's get straight to solutions or alternatives to get around that. These kind of articles serves no purpose.

    If people are upset about not being able to control a software like this, maybe it's time for them to wake up, stop being lazy, and adress the problem once and for all with an alternative that is not going to screw them wity spywares, ads, AI slop, pre installed bloatwares, useless features and forced updates bringing with them god knows what new shenanigans..
