Microsoft consistently breaking their own records for most anti-consumer tech company
Apple the next day: you need apple eye surgery to be able to see our new screens, until then they will all look like they are at 360p
They used to be far behind Apple in that regard. They have not only caught up, they are in full sprint ahead.
And then the ISPs walk jn
@@Elia04Ita At least Apple products aren’t awful. I just don’t want to be forced to use garbage
Why? Why are you making me defend Microsoft? There's just no comparison with Apple, which locks its users into a ten-point restraint of proprietary BS, restricting its users, gouging developers, and that platform-exclusive monstrosity that is Safari. What's more, they've built up a cult that actually defends Apple's "right" to keep them caged up. Step into Tim Apple's walled garden and they will see to it you lose a foot trying to get out.
By comparison, MS has made strides in recent years to make their software platform-agnostic (VS Code being a massive boon that they offer and maintain freely to any who want it, free of charge), maximize interoperability with other devices, and facilitate dual-booting and virtualization of Linux.
(And as a former Playstation fanboy, I'll bite my tongue as I point out that the XBox consoles have done a *far* more respectable job of maintaining backward compatibility.)
I hate many things MS is doing, same way I do Google, but if you think they're the worst, you better come to the table with more than "ads."
Those crazy Linux guys might be onto something…
I spend almost no time in Windows and it's awesome to not have to deal with this crap. Debian FTW.
Been switching all my systems to Linux Mint, It has been great! No ads, no massive bloat, free updates, no AI Copilot data harvesting mess, plays the games I play. Steam, GOG, Rockstar Launcher. Been playing GTA IV on in recently, and runs just about every Windows Program I throw at it with Lutris and Proton from Valve
Can't wait to find the time to get my new linux gaming system up. Will probably have to use vm / gpu passthrough on some titles but I'm sick of letting them own my PC.
As a crazy Linux guy, we told you :3
P.S: I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners
Migrated to Fedora, never looking back!
they say that if you dont pay, you are the product.
Not true, *even if you do* pay you are still the product.
In capitalist America, the product sells you!
@@Code7UnltdIt's like the movie All of me. Half of your body becomes controlled by the product.
Like those cable/satellite tv companies (at least here in Australia, I'm sure elsewhere as well), first the higher and higher monthly fee's, then the adverts oh god the adverts and often not even for a brand just a show on another channel that needed a package you had to pay extra for or even a show on the channel you are watching that goes for almost a minute and whatever songs they used in them are ruined for me.
Imagine spending tens of thousands of dollars on a car, just for the car company to sell your driving info. Even if you pay A LOT, they’ll milk you every way imaginable.
@@Manamore tv reps used to come to my door, and I would ask them if I would be paying for advertisements. They would either not answer or change the subject (ie; not answer).
Ads _might_ be acceptable on free and non-activated installs of Windows, but not on fully paid for and activated ones.
No, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.
Just look at companies like netflix and Prime Video. The biggest selling point to having them was because there were not any ads, now thats all they want you to watch.
No. Fuck ads.
Ads are never acceptable.
No, an OS like Windows is not a cartoon or a low-budget indie mobile app.
And this is coming from a low-budget indie mobile app developer.
@@simp-slayer If it's a low budget games, you could just get your money back by making the program cost something. I'd rather pay something upfront than pay eternally with my time that is too valuable to spend on watching malicious ads.
Huh.. we disabled your ability to replace the start menu after this update.. and then the next update we're considering adding in ads to our start menu.
"security reasons" my ash.
You're spot on. It is never a single change that turns something so big into shit, it's always a slow erosion of freedom.
so we pay for the license and now we gotta live with ads?
yeah anyone defending that crap is 🤡
You have the ability to turn them off. He made it pretty clear you can......
Windows is the OS where you pay to watch ads
@@guadalupe8589Yes. Because they’ll get less backlash if later they decide to not let you turn them off than if they did everything at once.
Might as well be cable TV (paying for ads)
Windows blocking official OS updates because of using StartAllBack - custom taskbar, is much worse than having start menu ads.
Personally, I see it as a feature, not a bug.
I have learned of a new program. Thx
No that definitely sounds like a feature. Blocking all updates sounds great to me.
@@albert2006xp you could see it that way, definitely a good temporary solution.
Those shell modification/customization apps are directly related to this news of ads on the Start Menu. Of course, if you don't use their native Start Menu, you won't get the ads - so they'll just make you vulnerable to malware just to make you see their ads... because of course those promoted apps will never be malware itself, right? (Yes, of course the most effective vector for malware is now through ads.)
Remember how windows 7 was popular for like almost 10 years!
Using it right now to watch this video.
@@HarvardHeinous Good luck with new applications and new versions of old ones ;-)
Windows XP was popular for almost 15 years. Heck, some mad lads are still using Windows XP to this day.
Must be why they extended Windows 7 x64 support again... to 2026.
Windows 7 was so friggin' clean. I only ever used it in VMs, but it exemplified the design paradigm of: "A good OS just stays out of the user's way," a concept that's not only lost on Win 10+ but macOS and, I would argue, KDE and GNOME.
As if I needed more reasons not to downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
Crazy how Microsoft is the only one really trying to make downgrading by going up a number a thing, right?
There's start menu ads on Windows 10 as well...
@@guadalupe8589 no there is not because you can turn them completely off
@@guadalupe8589 Hmm...your Windows 10 is different from mine. I have zero ads in my start menu. As a matter of fact, I have not had any since I eliminated all of the right hand tiles and crap many years ago. No special software needed- just turned it off. Thanks for the procedure, internet search!
I think you got your words mixed up. I think you meant to say "as if I needed more reasons to upgrade to windows 10 from windows 11"
Why are all these big corporations purposely hurting themselves? Like legit, why?

When Microsoft makes Windows subscription based, I won't be surprised.
Do you remember a time when you could pay for Microsoft Word just once, and if you didn't need the newest bloat, you could just install that version on every new system for years?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.

If windows starts forcing ads onto me, I will switch to Linux
As a lifelong Windows nerd and general inhabitant of the Microsoft ecosystem, I recently started making this switch for exactly this reason. Really enjoying Kubuntu so far and finding myself booting into Windows less often every week. Ditching OneDrive, too. Fuck em.
I have to keep my secondary computer (laptop) on windows because I need it for my job. But my primary device (desktop) has been on Pop since i built it, and except for said job, I never felt a need to boot up my laptop.
Installed Mint, was actually fantastic and only had three issues:
Getting Musicbee to work, which I did ultimately succeed with after running a bunch of commands and.. I should post that somewhere in the future.
Getting a VR work tool to work - replacing Virtual Desktop with Immersed isn't my cup of tea but it is functional.
Getting Unreal to work.. which, alongside poor VR performance compared to Windows, is what ultimately shuttled me back to Windows. I now use Rainmeter and Wallpaper Engine and AtlasOS to keep the depression at bay.
No, you will stay and be a piñata for MS.
Technically, there are already ads in Windows 11. There's a lot of first-party ads!
He shakes his hands around like a rapper in an early 2000's music video. All we need is the camera to be pointed at the sun.
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!
Linux has proven itself superior in so many ways but the fact it's not windows just holds people back from swapping. I personally love it.
Congrats? Why you telling us? Carry on in your happy Linux world 🤡

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.
Yeah, I was going to say. I remember ads in the windows 10 start menu.
I could always turn that shit off
Windows 10 was the beginning of the end.
Thankfully there is a way to disable them. But microsoft like to periodically "rotate" reigstry keys so we can't actually use the OS we paid for properly.
The first thing I did was remove all the tiles on the start menu
@@Mallchad This is the annoying part of my designing PowerShell scripts to run at first user logon(Because copying to the Default profile doesn't copy the registry keys related to Telemetry and Ads). They have these bs keys they rotate every major update (20H2, 21H2, 22H2, 23H2, etc) called SubscribedContent-54384398f and it seems to be randomly generated on purpose.

@@cbtillery135 whats that
@@hsvr xzutils is a software suit made to help with the de/compression of files into the XZ archive format. XZ compression is really good, if slow, so a lot of Linux distros used it for compressing their update packages to send out to users. But it was only maintained by a single guy, and he didn't have time anymore so he ended up handing over the reigns to another person who seemed to be an active and engaged contributor to the project for multiple years. The new guy installed a clever backdoor into the XZ Utils package that would have allowed for him to remotely gain control of any system running the software. However, within a week, a Microsoft engineer noticed an issue and looked into it and found the backdoor. He wasn't looking for security issues, he was benchmarking sub-100ms SSH processes lmao.
The whole thing is a giant lesson in social engineering, and the importance of not relying on software that is not in active development.
Windows 11 is the best advertisement for Linux ever. I’ve never considered Linux and now I’m doing active research.
Windows 11 already had start menu ads... That isn't a new thing. Now they're just also putting them in even more places in the start menu
And these reminders of ads in Windows is reminds me to be thankful for ditching Windows about 8 years ago for Linux. Windows 7 was the last version of Windows I ran.
Imagine if macOS out ads in their software. The new outlook which will take the place of the stock windows mail and calendar app, serves ads at the top of your inbox looks just like a new message. Sick.
Outlook needs plan for adless email
Apple mail no ads at all is free for greedy is not earning anything

Apple has not done with ads yet
Is our desktop not what ever anyone said to put ads
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.
Windows snapping is actually pretty useful, particularly if you have the Power Toy version.
Yeah window snapping is excellent tbh, even mac took that one onboard.
@@kunimitsune177wait, since when does mac have proper window snapping? is that in some betas or smth?
@@EpsilonRosePersonalyeah
I agree with your main point but turning off window snapping is insane lol
Gee, Microsoft blocks updates to people with shell modifications and customizations, most particularly those that replace or modify the Start Menu - then they start testing ads in the Start Menu! Such a coincidence! Of course it isn't.
Windows 11 with start menu ads? No thanks, Linux here I come!
No, you will stay and be a punching bag for MS, I know your type, all talk no action

YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO GO LINUX!
I'm actually having a dual boot mint / w11.

Do it now. Linux Mint is good very for beginners, but if you are gaming, you can check out Nobara, where everything is already set up for games.
Airchat is a perfect excuse to harvest your voice data even more than every other company does. If it's not already there, they'll be using your voice data for advertisments in guessing your mood/health by comparing your voice data to itself and others.

Also, it doesn't seem to have many satisfactory accessibility options for the hearing & speech impaired, and is thus not as inclusive as other social media apps, which is already a low bar to clear.

If more things were compatible with Linux, nobody would be using windows today, let's be honest, the ONLY reason there are so many people stuck with windows is because they were made windows-only regarding compatibility. Too bad many things just don't run on WINE or any other Linux tool. :( This is the reason I'm still on windows like almost everyone else.
Really the only things not running are Adobe Suite software, MS Office (soon to be solved when 100% web app subscription anyway) and CAD software. A huge majority runs with Proton nowadays or there are solid alternatives to them.

I have just debloated windows and havent updated it in like over a year, still no ads and running better!
Most people dont actually know how to use Windows so they think they don't have a choice in turning updates, unwanted programs, and advertisements off.
I have not yet heard of a windows 10 to 11 upgrade going properly as of yet. Every time I reccomend people to backup their data and clean install. They never do initially. And then they always get so annoyed at the issues they do it later on anyway.

I keep getting the Update to Windows 11 notification, but then it says my system doesn't have the requirements to upgrade.
Doesn't tell me what requirements are needed though...
The start menu is something I spend so little time in that it's not even worth the time to replace it. I click on the start menu maybe once per 2 months to reboot the computer, and that's it. I'm a multi-tasker and always have 10-20 apps open. The start menu simply has no relevance in any work I do. I guess my main use case for the start menu is to launch an app the first time after installation. If I actually use it, I pin it. I would not care if the start menu was removed from Windows.
Meanwhile I use the start menu all the time, since I have a ton of applications (mostly games) that if I were to pin all the ones I use frequently it would either become a hassle to use the task bar or my task bar will start looking reminiscent of Internet Explorer tool bars, just on the bottom of the screen.
@@WALLE1D1W Can't you launch your games from some game launcher like Steam or something? Having to look at the start menu would ruin it and make me not even want to play the game.
I typically open it to search for what I want to run.

@@zyxyuv1650 Extending the desktop metaphor from the graphical user interface, the start menu is the file drawer under the desktop where I put all the unsightly things until I actually need to use them. I'm far more disturbed by icon clutter all over my desktop than I am by having to press one extra key on my keyboard to open my neatly-curated start menu to select an app. I keep exactly two shortcuts visible on my desktop, one for file explorer and one for the recycle bin.
Linux becoming a daily driver is coming more pleasing every day
I havent used a straight from microsoft version of windows in years. Been running custom debloated versions and never looked back.
I upgraded my machines a couple nights ago from Windows 10 IoT LTSC to Windows 11 to try it out. It doesn't feel too bad once you throw ExplorerPatcher and Open Shell at it. I'm probably going to switch to Windows 11 LTSC once it properly comes out later this year, as that edition shouldn't have the shortcomings of Windows 11. But honestly, it really just feels like Windows 10 if it was using KDE.

on both w10 and w11, on a clean install you have many ads (probably based on your location) such as amazon, audible, tiktok, spotify, and many more.
Did Linus hire Weird Al to do the tech news?
I swear if windows 12 doesn't turn things around I'm done with them
Don't forget that Windows 12 will be the "AI Operating System"
@@Clawthorne right, forgot about that...
No, you will stay and be a punching bag for MS, I know your type, all talk no action.
Be done now. I made the switch this year after ~30 years of maining windows and literally haven't booted my gaming PC even once since - I'm now daily driving a MacBook with plans to setup a linux dual boot for gaming (ps5 been keeping me gaming/enabling my laziness so far).
It's not until you leave that you realise windows is SO much shitter than you ever thought it was.
@@Clawthorne Windows 11 is already pushing Copilot. 12 will promote local AI features. Likely things like audio noise reduction, etc.
That intro is xtreme !!!!
Would be funny if Intel added more power pins to the socket to deliver more power, because the top SKUs apparently don't fry fast enough already.
This bullshit that Microsoft’s “Web Experiences” team has been shoving down our throat finally pushed me over into Linux. I’ve been dual booting into Kubuntu for a few weeks now and am mostly loving it. Finding myself booting into Windows less and less often. I think I’m also going to ditch OneDrive, which I’ve stored *everything* in for 12 years, and see how far I can de-Windows my life.
Maybe in a few months, I’ll even start dual booting on my work laptop as well and, barring any workflow-breaking driver issues, daily drive Linux for both work and play.
It’s so stupid. Just when Windows *finally* started showing some good UX polish, they sabotage it. Well screw them. The most they’ll get from me from now on is my Xbox Live Gold, the occasional store purchase, and $4 a month for GitHub Pro.
That intro gave my wife a migraine
latest windows 11 update broke intel bluetooth driver on my mini pc. i tried updating the driver but it`s already the latest version. mfw keyboard and mouse stopped working after a casual update
Glad I moved to Linux at the end of 2022. Actually BECAUSE of Windows, which once again just crashed and didn't boot anymore to the point that I couldn't recover it anymore. Seriously, I tried all methods I could find and just NOTHING repaired the boot-failure, forcing me to just move on.
But I wasn't going to re-install Windows again, I tried some Linux-distros and stuck with it. I barely have any issues in terms of functionality, whether it's the same ones I used on Windows or alternatives that sometimes are even better. - Also, in about 15-16 months of being on one and the same installation (almost every day), I might have had one or two crashes, if at all. - Oh, and no, the Windows boot issue wasn't my hardware either, cause I tested it all, also installed a Linux-distro on the exact same hardware, and there are no issues. - It was Windows, it just failed out of nowhere (I didn't even do anything significant before it happened).
So yea, this is an unpaid ad. Just use Linux. Cause things need to change and it IS the answer and it IS entirely viable today. - I recommend distros like Pop!, Mint, and Zorin, for those who are afraid they will need to use commands for everything. You really don't with distros like those. - Occasionally perhaps, but in general it's like using Windows, except with the bloat, which will leave you in control of your computer and also make it snappier than you think your system can be. - Trust me bro, but actually.
Glad I moved to Linux back in 2016. Before all this BS MS did really took off.
please, proton devs, get kernel level anticheat and VR working cause holyshit i want to nuke my windows install from orbit fully
I’ve tried so many times. But gaming, video editing and audio production just keeps me on windows. And I refuse to pay the Apple premium again.
A solution would be running a VM with windows inside in theory.
The anti cheat problem will only be fixed by the developers. As Linux grows they won't have a choice.
@@WafflePanB That doesn't work if its kernel level.
@DrMechxico What premium? I got a MacBook this year for just less than I built my gaming PC for, the specs are comparable and it actually performs better because it's not running Microsoft's bloatware bullshit.
Apple do charge a premium for some things but not the core hardware - the computer is priced appropriately but an additional charger or more internal storage will sting.

It’s amazing that Adobe Premiere is still focused adding new features despite crashing more often than VEGAS pro…
I'm on windows 10 and have ads in my start menu. Sort of. Multiple things pushing for me to get office 365 (which i refuse to, too expensive when open source software does good enough for my needs), and has a netflix button despite me never having used netflix on my PC, a seperate "play" button with mini tiles of a few things i never installed (not sure if they were installed by default, or don't exist on my system at all but they want me to pick them up). So hearing windows 11 might introduce it seems like "umm, don't they already do that in 10, so it shouldn't surprise anyone?"
bro this guy is a no go.
Nobody will ever know im gay after being buried in these comments...
Imagine it gets pinned by the Channel :D
I'll know
@@austinverlinden2236 Being gay is its own reward ♥️
Oh we all know, thanks for confirming, and coming out of your box though
I'll know too
Not sure if this is what happened today, but starting up and going to the start menu with the keyboard made things go bleepie bloop and voila! I installed Adobe Express through the Microsoft Store! Without asking, or typing anything! And no, I don't have Creative Cloud.
How about going back to letting users manually control when and what updates get downloaded/ installed.
Wish granted!
