Hallelujah
Yay! More free ads!
Another reason to stop using Windows
I mean - if anyone still needs them, I guess M$ is still cranking them out.
Try GNU/Linux
Microsoft: So, what are you going to do about it? Stop using Windows? Hah!
I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.
Is this the new technique because all these companies already completed enshitification? Briefly remove the things people hate in the hopes that it will draw them back, only to rug pull them again?
Its Microsoft they're not that smart.
Why don't they just rename it to "AdOS" already?
Today's weather, ads. With a high of ads. Ads coming in from the east.
Cloudy with a chance of ads
Ads with a chance of rain
its a dystopian world we live in, advertisements to just check the weather..
Good thing all the software I install comes with WeatherBug
Bummer that they didn’t have perfect weather for 4/20/02. 4/20 is best on a sunny day.
Oh no! Anyway...
I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).
Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.
I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead
