Microsoft plugging more ads into Windows 11 Start Menu
> As Microsoft puts it: “We are continuing the exploration of badging on the Start menu with several new treatments for users logging in with local user accounts to highlight the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft account (MSA).”<p>What is Microsoft really thinking here? You have to go out of your way (and probably do a web search) in order to figure out how to install Win 11 without using a Microsoft Account. So those people deliberately chose that -- they didn't avoid the MSA because they were unaware of the benefits, they did it because they were aware of the drawbacks and want to avoid them.<p>Harassing them seems more likely to make them angry than to make them change their minds.
