Why can an ad break the Windows 11 desktop and taskbar?
As I always say in these threads, I would be happy to pay Microsoft for a Windows license that doesn't have Cortana, Teams, telemetry uploads, the app store, etc.  I just want to run applications that through past probably-illegal monopolistic actions, require APIs that only exist on Windows machines.  Accept that you are just boring plumbing, and don't have any "value added services", and you earn my money.  (Oh, and ship the damn patch for Hyper-V that adds nested virtualization on AMD processors.  It's been in preview builds for like 2 years!)<p>Computers are about the applications you run and what you make with them.  Nobody wants to know the name of their OS vendor, or buy anything else from them.  Sorry, Microsoft.  If something is good, I'll find out about it.  (Happy to pay for Github, for example!)
