    The new Start menu is also a significant improvement over the old one, with more icons on show, the ability to turn off Recommended ads, […]

    Guys, we are allowed to disable the ads now. We might have been too harsh on microsoft after all.

    …insanity, I tell you. Ads, in your face, right in the Start Menu, on your computer that you bought, on your OS that you bought.

      Note that it doesn’t disable ads. It just means the ads a user sees will be less relevant to the user based on their browsing history and consumer profiles.

      I haven’t used Windows for more than 10 years and I’m happy too.

      I think it’s worth repeating that Ubuntu has been available since 2005 (20 years now) and from the start it filled the needs of most users at home (i.e. watching crap on YouTube and using LibreOffice). Most users I have seen around me only have basic requirements and should have switched decades ago.

      TL;DR: if you complain about your computer nowadays and don’t play games, install Ubuntu or Mint or anything else, I don’t care anymore.
