What if I told you that they cost the same amount, but windows users are subsidized via in-OS advertising.

I mean, decades ago, I would agree with this meme but these days… windows needs to be put down.

I’ve never seen a single ad in windows. I keep hearing they are coming… But so far it’s just a few predatory practices failing to convince me to use their stupid browser.

Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there.

I just did and I have no idea what you’re talking about. All I see are my pinned apps and recently used files.

I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

haha WHOA, that SUCKS.

I’ve never had that, though… not on my Windows machines (plural). Did you buy your machine from a manufacturer like HP? It just feels like something HP would do… never buy HP anything, everyone (even if this specific event isn’t their fault).
