nilMicrosoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC
Who is windows for anymore now that you can run games on Linux?

I can’t take an OS with ads seriously. It’s a fucking joke. And any business that uses it is a joke, too.
Just a vector for malware.
Unfortunately corporations are addicted to the micromanaging control that Active Directory gives to them. They don’t give a single flying fuck about the actual experience of using the OS, that’s a problem for the plebians, they care that AD let’s them do things like lock everyone’s background to a corporate approved image or force everyone to use Edge as their browser while disabling the password saving feature.
Basically the OS is irrelevant, it’s all about Active Directory.

Try being a sysadmin in a decent sized company (500+ employees) and you’ll understand why.
Which, funny enough, Microsoft is thinking about sunsetting, because they can’t stop losing. Although they have very similar features with Intune.
I still don’t understand this. I’ve never, ever, seems an ad on Microsoft. Is it an EU thing? Finland thing? Why is it?
Admittedly the fact that they are ads is hidden better than most websites would. Recommended apps in the start menu. The truckload of things you have to decline on install like an Office subscription, Game Pass, etc. The settings app will occasionally have pop ups that remind you that you have a free trial. There are pop ups that cover the entire OS reminding you to “finish setting up your PC” with no option to say no.
Nope, none of these.
