1. An operating system should only display something on the screen if it is in service of the user. This is in service to Microsoft, and a full screen display.

2. The two 'yes' buttons shows Microsoft is really shaky on the concept of consent.
Why is Microsoft pushing Windows 11 so strongly? Is there an economic advantage for them to have a user on W11 instead of W10? I haven't owned or dailyed a Windows computer since before Windows 8 was released, this question comes from a place of curiosity as an outsider.
- tmtvl 4y agoThey make (made?) stores pay a license fee for each machine sold, and Windows 11 won't run as well on older hardware therefore prompting people to buy new machines.
- wkat4242 4y agoThey do the same with Edge, I never understood why they care so much if people use their chromium fork instead of the normal one. At the same time they're also making it user hostile with all the suggested offer crap so I'm sure it won't get much marketshare. Normally the idea is to wait with this hostile monetisation until you have the marketshare lol. I have to use it at work though because MS lobbied heavily to make it the standard browser there
