If you run an office and need your computers to be relatively idiotproof, use Windowss

And lock that damn Windows DOWN. Windows isn’t idiotproof if you can install just about any software you want.

Or just specific software that is not available on Linux.

I made the switch to linux that time they had three bad patches in a row and nothing was working. Every issue I have had in an issue in linux I am able to fix myself since nothing is obfuscated. I was using x11 rewritten by some Croatian dude as a proof of concept because it was the only thing that allowed torch to address the video card properly. Run into an issue in windows and find out that neither the manufacturer nor microsoft are supporting your product. Nothing i can do about it. Utterly rage inducing.

It’s ads for other Microsoft products, and some things that will very obviously get ads in the future, like news, but actually don’t and nobody can explain how.

So yes, there are ads, but not the way you probably imagined. (Yet?)

Imagine playing solitaire and everytime you flip the draw pile a 30 second unskippable online casino ad plays.
