> Maybe it's part of a potential new "free OS" offering, where you get Windows 11 for free, but with ads. Who are you kidding? The paid versions of Windows 10 already have built-in ads. The installer even asks about "personalized" ad preferences. The ship's already sailed - Windows is ad-ware. The only question now is how blatant they want to be, and it looks like they're figuring that out now.
