we need someone to make an addon to Gnome or KDE to have ads on Desktop so WIndows users can finally jump on Linux
Haha yeah, they wouldn't be comfy without them.
Forcing online accounts is the first step in the strategy to transition Windows into a subscription-based service
Yup, this is why I use linux :)
So basically in the future in order to use your computer you'll need to pay a subscription?
They completely lost it. An OS still with many UI inconsistencies. and ads at every critical place.
What happened to them?
The changes to explorer are despicable.
@reeben2273 this is windows 11 video
The new Account Menu is okay but big issue for me is the actual option to lock and sign out from the account is now hidden. Those two option must be always viable when user opens that menu which has been a thing since forever. Even signing out to websites, they show sign out button. This new menu will just be more annoying and will gain more frustrated users.
it's nder the power menu
When I say "Windows 11 is the worst operating system I have ever experienced in my entire life", people tend to think I'm exaggerating. They think it's hyperbole. Well, it's not hyperbole. I'm not exaggerating. Windows 11 is astonishingly bad, in my opinion.
I cant count the amount of times when I have finished setting up Windows and now I have to uninstall 100 different apps I will never use.
yeah windows is a bloated os made by a big corp. this is why I use linux. sure gnome has some bloat but it's not as much compared to windows, there like 2-3 apps I personally don't use but many would find useful. there are a few apps for god knows why are uninstallable but this is gnomes part not linux. Gnome is a desktop experience that's suppose to be user friendly. That's my only complaint, other than that Linux is better, the software center has actual apps I want not movies or paid apps and there no ads on my OS. Just the way it should be.
Lemme say it ... Ads made me no longer use edge and switched to firefox
As a sysadmin, I'm glad they added so many ads and made the base system so slow because I can charge for half an hour of setup extra per PC I have to set up :)
🤪
modern problems require modern solutions
With AI your job will basically become obsolete in the next couple of years. Are you still happy?🤣 Who pays some fool to set up a Computer in 2024? LOL
@@STONE69_They probably meant that they also build the computers too. Since I doubt It’d take an hour or more just to set up windows.
@@STONE69_ You don't need AI to automate setting up a system. You could do that for decades.
Windows keeps getting worse and worse why?
All about control and money
Stockholders matter more than users
I use windows desktop because I play games. But on my laptop I rock kubuntu and it's just perfect. Linux runs so good on my ThinkPad.
I love how the Server 2025 wallpaper (used in the video) is better than the stock Windows 11 wallpaper.
What I find outrageous about Windows is how we still, at the end of the day, are paying for it. I would be fine with ms injecting ads if it was a free product but it isnt.
Yes you pay for Windows when you buy a computer, but after 4 years its basically free. So this is why it will become a yearly subscription, plus Adds. It provides stable revenue to keep it all going.
Best not to connect to the Internet when first installing and create a local account or if you have a Microsoft account already delete it from the machime and go with local account. Then don't use MS products browser online word etc. Use Firefox
Are windows ads also showing in business environments?
So happy I switched to a MacBook Pro from my old laptop because of Windows 11. Don’t get me wrong, Mac/Apple has its problems. But I’ll take that over what Microsoft is doing with Windows. My desktop that is “not eligible to upgrade” I had planned on forcing W11 onto it anyway. But now I’m super happy I switched it to Ubuntu. I genuinely hope I never have to touch Windows or Microsoft again. I just with it wouldn’t be such a pain to switch everything to a different email provider.
Try count how many buttons there are to fire up michrosoft copilot from a simple bing search XD
I am preparing to migrate to Linux
Is this just with Windows 11 Home, these ads are not good for testing environments that shut the testing software down if you get a popup.
Home and Pro
i going back Windows 10
using for end of support
Install windows using rufus it will bypass login, turn off widget and search icon on task settings and you are done. I've never seen any ads or banner on windows explorer or my account settings, maybe because I'm not logged in.
Im only still using Windows because im forced to because of school. other than that I avoid it as much as possible
you should have bypassed the MS account on setup. That seems to be giving you a lot of the ad stuff that I don't see with a local account.
i put on windows load steam and run FFXIV on it 24/7 the other pc i use Fedora 40 with KDE :)
Yo bro I watch your videos nice to see u here
Ads must be in the unactivated version or free version of Windows, and if the Windows is activated, there must be no ads, wtf is Microsoft thinking
I hate what windows has become, nothing has gotten better with the UI since XP only worse and the OS is consuming enormous amounts of resources now when the goal of an OS should be to run as metal as possible while consuming as little as possible and the fact Tiny windows 11 exists means M$ could very optmize the OS but doesn't give a damn about its users so doesn't. I can only hope more and more gamers start embracing steam os and windows starts losing share making them wise up.
I remember that the MSN team became part of the Windows a few years ago. That gave me really bad vibes, since in my opinion MSN is the worst product/service Microsoft ever launched.
Sadly this will get worse since the new Windows lead came from Web Services and MSN department which their strategy is always promote their services and will shove ads as much as they can. Panos will be missed here since at least he had a mission to just make Windows cleaner and beautiful, though still has ads because Microsoft as a whole wants it, but his leadership is more focused on trying to polish Windows.
Even if I dislike all of that ads, Microsoft is doing what Android (Google) have dove for several years, with a difference, disabling all those ads on Windows is sometimes easier than doing so on a smartphone, moreover you are free to use other OS, instead some smartphone are locked. But this do not justify that shady behavior.
Yeah, after WIn10 is end of life, I will switch to Linux as my daily driver. It's already way less bloated, more transparent, elegant and user friendly.
I use Windows 11, and I've never had any ads.
When we say ads, we're not talking website-like ads, we are talking about the company suggesting to use certain features or product that most people consider ads because it's trying you to get a subscription or pay for something.
Meh, this is why I use Linux and Mac.
Microsoft give us more ad's, it should be called ads OS instead of windows.
I'm just sitting here as "that Linux guy" in the comments. Ad free, no MS account requirement, and all my applications and games (Windows and otherwise) run fine. Obviously your mileage will vary but if you can give it a try I'd say do it on an old PC you upgrade from or something first to work out issues. Also always back up your data to a USB drive or CD/DVDs. Cloud is nice but that's just someone elses computer you are uploading your files to. Still it's an option as well if you don't mind putting your stuff on other peoples computers.
I have/see no ads in Win11 with Edge.
Then you're good.
@@Pureinfotech Can easily be the same for anyone.
For those who want a Windows OS that doesn't inject ads, consider looking into Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC. The Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC is the only OS that, Microsoft will not inject ads into.
Or the upcoming Windows Server 2025
@@viniacamp True however, Windows Server 2K16 - 2K22 is also another option.
@@KRYST4LCLR Yes certainly, but Server 2025 is closer to Win11 (is pratically Win11 with no bloatware and ads)
@@viniacamp agreed :)
Yes they are. and unfortunately they will not listen
I use windows 11 and i have never got a single ad so i don't know what y'all talking about... Tiny 11 rules
Google and Apple also does this and many android oems are also notorious at pushing ads to their manufactured devices. Why is it when Microsoft do the thing it suddenly becomes a big deal? Can you do a Samsung pushing ads video as well or Apple enticing me to buy Apple Music subscription the very first time I boot up the phone? Or Apple enticing me to buy ICloud if my storage is low? I know these are annoying but I think its unfair to just call out Microsoft. Call all the companies who pushes annoying/invasive ads!
This is a channel that talks about windows. Of course when other companies do it they should also be called out, i think they are just being more subtle right now, which makes people think it is not a bug deal.
For example, I’ve never seen ghost apps on ios, I’ve seen the icloud settings app notifications (which is way subtler, still annoys me)
Do you even have a life? Or do you even care about the people who create something for the bucks? I mean I use an ad blocker to block ads but not in an extent where you're totally screwing someone's job.
Dark mode in website.
not ads.
1. Tip on the ad in installing Windows 11, Guess what?, That kind of ad shows up also upon the installation processes of Windows 10 too more so in the process of making an offline account and installing Windows offline because some of Microsoft's apps that are built into the OS requires an online account for them to fully work properly.
2. Start Menu ads?, That also happens in Windows 10's Start Menu too.
3. Ads in search. If you are searching anything in particular then guess what?, You will see ads period because they come based on what you are searching for ad that is regardless of what search engine that you use.
This is just a click bait video made to run people away from Windows 11.
Linux time.
Ads make sense if you are giving the Windows OS for free. Charge $100 to have an ad free experience. Win win (pun intended)😂
Why pay, when people can get Linux OS's for free. No ADDs, No license fee's, no pop ups, 100% private.
@@STONE69_ I'm with you on that. But if you *have* to use Windows, there should be options. I use Linux and Windows systems - one by choice, the other because apps that I use aren't available on Linux.
If you have the money use Mac
If you don't have the money but have the knowledge use any Linux distro
If you don't have the money AND don't have the knowledge use windows
Why anyone still uses windows when Wine has come as far as it has is beyond me
There's still a lot of compatibility issues, and is not so simple for the common user to use and run games downloaded from the internet for example, not from Steam or Epic
@dreaper5813 Bro, it's not a false claim, I'm a user myself and I know what are the problems, and about the legacy support, indeed it's better.
@dreaper5813 There's nothing false on my comment man, I use Wine and Linux too, and about the legacy support, indeed, it's better.
Windows 11 sucks. So glad I removed it and switched to Linux. It's only going to get worse.
Laughing in Linux
w11 with many problem and desperately wanna take people's money..w10 in the other hand doesnt really that bad.. its okay
Actually glad my pcs can't take win 11
Windows is the worst
Fr
Linux and Mac is worse
I thought about this too. Then I used Mac. I love windows 10.
@@anshulsingh8326use it in boot canp
@@anshulsingh8326use windows on the Mac w boot camp
Linux - 100%
Time to switch to macOS.
How is macOS better than Windows in the features department and compatibility?
MacOS has less features than Windows. For example, if you use your computer for gaming, you're severely limiting yourself with MacOS. The majority of modern games are not ported to MacOS.
Lets just all go back to Windows 7. I'd literally pay for continued support.
Just go with Windows 11 LTSC later
win 7 forever!!!!!
