      They're already infesting RokuTVs with ads on the main home page I'm about to keep it turned off and only use it for gaming I swear companies are selfish and could care less what their "valued" customers think. For that matter I'd rather have a CRT TV and buy back cable services if companies are being this invasive this is why people are reverting to watching TV on computers and some are switching to Linux to avoid this crap service. However if Microsoft lets you disable this I wouldn't worry about it but if it's forced that's when it's a concern I'm not even watching RUclips without an adblocker and if worst case scenario if I have to unplug from the Internet so fucking be it time to boycott and live off the grid if I have to.

Might give it a go before Win 10 runs out of life then im gonna burn that bridge when i get to it. So far Win 11 isnt that interesting since Win 10 can do pretty much the same with lesser headache.

    Microsoft has a market share of around 74% of all business computers. So I doubt then they really care about what home desktop PC owners think. That said, I watched a video the other day what said Microsoft was also going to put nag ads in Windows 10 to try to force people on local accounts to sign with a MS Account. And, from what I've read from more than one source, they are also thinking about making Windows subscription based in the not to distant future. Could be why Linux has jumped from less than 2% of desktops to just over 4% in the last year, and why I'm now running Linux Mint Cinnamon.

      I have none of this nonsense... because I still use Windows 7 as much as I can, like for 80% of stuff I use, and only use Windows 10 when absolutely needed.
      And Windows 10 already gives me plenty of headaches with its forced updating system and/or trying to fiddle with it/block it... let alone this abomination that seems to be Windows 11!...
      Also, several Linux distros are already installed on my drives, just trying to see which one works the best for me and my needs as I try to depend less and less on Windows...

A majority have done zero customization on the system and many are littered with the default bloatware which they just ignore as they use the few programs they use, it is funny because a lot of them will have live tiles updating with information and blinking and flashing in a way that looks like billboards at night advertising in Las Vegas. I have family members who have never used a single program except a web browser and they have been using Windows for years and years. Also, I would say the largest majority of people I encounter are still on Windows 10 or earlier and haven't even thought of updating to Windows 11.

    Ads would be fine if Microsoft gives the OS away for free, or if you're running an unactivated OS. But for us who pay for the license, that is not acceptable, especially businesses like mine (I'm a Microsoft reseller partner) that pay full price and not through shady websites for the license keys.

    Not just Microsoft, but any big companies push more ads towards instead of secrurity.. All about the money

    It's annoying having adverts in the start menu. If you want an advert free operating system you will need to install linux, otherwise if you want to use Windows you will have to put up with advertising.

    Another reason that my next computer will not be a windows one, and I really liked windows. But now forcing adds on you and also forcing you to use apps like edge and new outlook, it’s just too much.

    People seem to be be missing the forest for the trees. Windows 11 is a monetary platform designed around the windows SHELL of an operating system. Windows 10 had telemetry. Windows 11 foundation is made of it.

    6:56 "pleeease stop putting ads we don't like it" They know you don't like it. It's not about user experience it's about making as much revenue as possible. If they did care about customer satisfaction they wouldn't be doing this now, would they?

    This is getting predictable, Brian. I'm surprised they don't put a full page advert before the login screen. One day..... It is getting to the stage there are more ads in Windows than on Googles web site !!

    I almost only use the Start menu to shut down or restart my PC. All my fav programs I use by shortcuts on the Desktop. I don't want to waste precious time on some dumb ads.

    So another reason to not move to w11. I hope when we might be forced to we can skip the start menu by using desktop icons.

    Lovely. They want us to upgrade to Windows 11 to see ads. Hope they aren't popup ones.
    I feel like Linux is going to gain another per cent or two.

    This is no longer a professional operating system. It's a data mining tool you have the privilege to pay for.

    I haven’t seen it in the professional version. I guess the difference is paying for it?

    There will be either commands to remove it from powershell or some other 3rd party tool. When all that's blocked it's time to move back to arch linux and just deal with some stuff like rgb and fan curves not working. At least I never paid more than $20 for windows keys.

    Adds are popping up everywhere not only Win11, and perhaps the average home user won't know how to load an alternative OS on to their device or turn off the add feature. Tech giants are akin to sheep herders, thanks for the clip. Long live Windows 7.

    Anyone remember the time when paying for stuff meant having no ads? Now you can have both.
