  You’d be surprised how much my father raves about simply having news shown to him when he opens up Edge. Nobody asked for this, but telemetry at MS shows these have extremely high engagement by the people who don’t immediately disable them.

    Early on many of us raved about that sort of thing too before we realized how bad it was.

  Lmao no one. And yet I'll bet you a million bucks that windows 11 still has a virtually unusable file search function.

    Windows file search is so bad. Also bad: this morning my router was acting up and I would get intermittent connection. I normally hit the Win key and start typing the name of program I want to launch, but the start menu was seemingly locked-up due to the connection issue. What the hell? This OS runs on like a billion machines.

    I'm still genuinely surprised that Microsoft hasn't fixed the search. You'd think that being unusable would get them to address it, but I suppose not.

  Shareholders. Most widgets have ads.
