The first ads in the Windows 11 Start menu will look familiar.

      Set your country to Ireland and enjoy GDPR privileges. None of that crap makes it into the EU.

        Doesn’t make it to Linux, either.

          I’d be happy to use Linux full time, once there’s a port of the actual Photoshop and a powerful Excel clone available.

          Gimp and LibreCalc work for casual stuff, but sorely lack when it comes to more advanced features.

      For what? Android OEMs have been doing this for years with no problems

    I don’t keep up with Microsoft lore. Did they really have ads in the Windows 10 Start Menu and decided to remove it for Windows 11?
