This.
I'm forced to use Windows at my current gig, and I'm gobsmacked by the presence of baked-in cheap consumer marketing, and celebrity news, front and center in this supposedly professional environment. I've been able to suppress or route around ~all of it, but it's kind of ridiculous that I have to mitigate it in the first place.
