Aaand … it’s ads. What a surprise.
Article says (but don't believe them):
Oh boy! Not all ads! Oh yippee! I have been blessed on this fine day! 🥰
Sure, you had fewer ads before, but now you got slightly fewer ads than the amount known to induce seizures. Blessed be the fruit!
I use Linux exclusively and hate Microsoft, but isn’t that statement objectively true?
That's not an ad
Sounds like an ad to me.
It's a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It's not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account
Edit:
I haven't signed in with the Microsoft account in the first place.
What about trying to install Windows 11 with a local account instead of using a Microsoft account?
Shift + F10 -> Enter: oobe\bypassnro followed by.. you know what? Try: format C:\. And install Linux already.
I haven't either... bc I've been privileged to not have to work with ~~Satan~~ Windows for almost a decade now.:-)
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <--
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not Microsoft's fault.
And if it was, they didn't mean it.
And if they did, you deserved it.
Sounds like they are advertising a paid option.
It's not Microsofts account for starters, its also not their computer. Its a user account on the customers computer.
Linux mint doesn't try and steal your content to train an AI. It's also a much nicer experience in a lot of ways

Bruh you're in so deep you don't even see ads anymore 😱
Seems a bit silly to comment confidently on changes happening within Windows that you don't experience then, no?
This isn't out on windows neither. This article is a rewording of another article that seems to be a mix of data mining and speculation. So having the same information as everyone else, I don't see any issue with commenting on it
If you’re gunna simp for something you could at least have the self-respect to choose a thing that isn’t openly unstable dogshit.
