Same with Windows Menu? WTF is cotton candy doing there on a fresh install ?
Why does opening Edge have so much msn news spam?
Like is Microsoft just oblivious to what the user really cares about ?
Most likely some execs compensation is tied to how many ads they shove so they prioritize that over the user’s experience.
- mumblemumble 6y agoMicrosoft's behavior starts to make a lot more sense if you think of it as a large conglomerate of smaller organizations, each with its own agenda, and its own ways of throwing its weight around. For a while, you could get away with interpreting Apple's behavior as if it were a single person with a coherent mind. Since 2011, though, that model's been getting less and less workable for Apple as well.
