I still have friends who work at Microsoft and internally, Microsoft employees see the same tabloid articles and a fresh install of Windows comes with Candy Crush.

What people on HN don't realize is that the general public likes Candy Crush and tabloid news. My parents love these things being front and center on their computers.



I have less issues with Candy Crush and tabloid news than I do with Microsoft's use of Taboola for ad revenue. It means you can go from stock Windows to malware in one click from the Edge homepage.
