full-blown adverts coming to Windows 11's Start menu?

[cm2]

Read from tweaktown:

Microsoft could expand on its existing recommendations in Windows 11 by weaving full-on adverts into the interface of the operating system.

The saga of Microsoft jamming more nudging and prodding into Windows 11 continues, with a fresh rumor now indicating that future plans might just involve outright ads in the Start menu.

At least we can turn it off.

I hope so.

For now, another headache for work.

We all totally missed that from Windows 10

At least, it looks easy for me to turn off the ads in the Startmenu in Windows 11's settings.

Just another thing for them to make money off of. I will be turning it off right away because I hate ads. I hope they are not going to flood windows 11 with ads like they do on Xbox.

Which flavor are you running?

Very nice, I love Linux. Ubuntu is my favorite distribution. What distribution are you running? If I didn't need Windows I would be running Linux.

I've had the problem of turning something OFF & then the app turned itself back on. So I'm not for having this at all. But what to do? We still have Windows 10 & will continue to keep it until we need to upgrade.
Ads are cumbersome & annoying.
