> don't really have a problem with ads,

I paid for windows. I am the customer. I am not not the product.

I actually like Windows, or did for most of my nearly 30 year career. In the past I have defended it against the "winblows" crowd.

Now there are no new features that users want, the start menu is a progressive web app, explorer takes 2x3 times the resources it did in 10 and does less, and they have lost all respect for me as a consumer.

I'm one ad away from migrating everything I own to a system that respects me. It will be an investment, but I suspect it will be worth it.

The new macs look nice.
