What’s a “real” ad? They use that term multiple times and I can’t imagine how it is different from a normal ad or if the adds that the start menu already had were somehow different from normal ads.
It’s the kinda batshit stupid ideas that come out of dens of villainy like the boston consultant group as a way to sell new types of advertising to executives in the companies they already lead. Why pay salaries of the people you already have working for you when you can chuck a few million dollars at your friends and have them come up with retarded ideas that makes line go up?
They aren’t ads. They are “App Promotions”.
Recommendations and App Promotions sound an awful lot like ads to me. Showing me things I didn’t ask for that you wish to sell me…that’s called advertising and I don’t care what dumb name you call it, they’re still ads. Show me only what I actually want to see - the stuff I explicitly choose to pin to my personalized Start menu.
Better to just wipe out Windows entirely and be done with it.
And then what? What’s going to replace it? As of right now there is no alternative that can do what windows can do. There are other operating systems that can do some of the stuff but not all of it.
That’s a nice generalization and all, but mostly just a lackluster cop-out that I’ve heard a million times. It’s not like windows is some high and mighty operating system which is the only thing capable of running some software because it’s so awesome. Linux is really good at a lot of things like gaming, security, data analytics, and continues to get better. Lots of money was put into developing windows and making it usable for most people. If more money was put towards the development of Linux for the purpose of <insert your generalized cop-out argument>, you’d have one less thing to bitch about.
Bro I can’t even load up most games on Linux so saying we should do away with windows is saying we just shouldn’t have video games anymore.
Linux isn’t there yet and it’s not even close. When it is then I’ll switch but until then windows is just fine and isn’t the boogie man you weird Linux fan boys make it out to be.
What can windows as an operating system do that no other can do? Do they have magical scheduling?
The question is what can’t it do? Yall keep saying switch to Linux but why? Why would I leave windows if Linux isn’t offering anything better?
Microsoft: “We’re sorry, this is all just a misunderstanding. We thought you were too stupid to notice.”
