The reality is developing an OS is very expensive. I can totally understand why MS is going down that path. It's great that MS is asking for feedback from users. Unlike Google, which is keeping users hostages for some extra money.
Windows works and is printing money since more than three decades. Of course they don’t need to add ads.
Since at least Windows 7 they could have done nothing other than changing colors and styles and still print money.
I’m not saying that Windows shouldn’t evolve. But since Windows 7, basically everything is just worse. I can’t see a single thing that I could qualify as "better". I just lost more and more control as the time passes. Heck I can’t even resize and move the taskbar anymore.
There is a lot of thing I like in my current job but the day I’ll quit, quitting Windows will be a relief.
And I’m saying that as someone who grew up with Windows, learned computing with Windows, played with Windows… Although I prefer Linux/macOS, I’ve never been "anti" anything. But Windows 11 is just insulting me on a daily basis, I can’t stand it anymore.
