The secret is that they aren't the same people.
- capableweb 4y agoThey both work for and represent/is represented by the same company though.
- mcv 4y agoThe company is the same, but the people are not. There's a lot of people working at Microsoft. Different departments, even different teams, can have completely different approaches.

Same here, just because you work in a different team doesn't mean people won't associate you with the rest of the crap the very same company puts out.
- yanellena 4y agoThey aren't even aimed at the same customers. I use Windows 11 Enterprise and I've never seen ads in the start menu, because corporate customers wouldn't put up with that.
