I disagree that we should just "get over" ads, I fucking paid cold hard cash for a Windows license after all. It's either ads with a free license, or no ads with a license bought and paid for. No fucking double dipping.
That said, most if not all the nonsense can easily be disabled or removed so I agree with your overall position.

- jijji 2y agoI hope that was sarcasm
- 2Gkashmiri 2y agoI don't know for Microsoft but xiaomi has been saying this https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-ads-business-966584/ https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-ads-business-966584/ >This advertisement business is what allows Xiaomi to subsidize and offset the cost of the hardware and reach those astonishingly low price points. So it wont be surprising if Microsoft says the same
- ric2b 2y agoMicrosoft doesn't have astronomically low price points.
- Dalewyn 2y agoI'm paying around $200 bucks for a Windows 11 Pro license, you bet your ass I am not expecting ads after paying two motherfucking Franklins.
- zer0zzz 2y agoWhy? I’ve found practically any license key from any old pc as far back as win7 will enable win11 pro. Am I missing something here? Did you actually buy a $200 win11 license? If so yeah that's a pretty fair complaint.
- zer0zzz 2y agoWhile my rhetoric was overly dismissive of people’s gripes, I do agree completely with your sentiment.
