They will never learn because they make Windows for Microsoft not for users. They do whatever suits them and they think will maximises profitability and their share price. They have to keep "growing" so they have to find new ways to make money.

As for the article; what shill bullshit is this?

It probably makes sense for a lot of users to have their default browser of choice open automatically at login, as most people spend the majority of their time in a web browser. Windows already automatically preloads Edge in the background by default to increase its startup performance, so it's not a huge leap to automatically display the app itself if Windows knows you're going to open it anyway.

No, it does not make sense to do this. Apps can be set to auto launch if users want them to. This only makes sense from the perspective of Microsoft trying to push Edge onto user so it can grow it's market share and harvest even more data.

Between this and Lemmy, I'm ready for a switch to Linux now even though I don't know how it works.

This bullshit again?

Oh, so they're on board with convincing people to move to Linux. Good job!

Wasn't MS just saying that they were going to work to de-shittify Windows? Evidently the same decision makers for the previous shit are still in charge.

puts on Microslop

Who is windows for anymore now that you can run games on Linux?

Laughs in Linux...

SteamOS Desktop can't arrive fast enough. Once it has, I will jump ship to either CachyOS or SteamOS, depending on what reviewers say.

Linux is easier than ever to adop, distros like Mint just works out of the box, gaming with on Linux with proton and newer Wine much easier now…

Macs are cheaper than ever with MacBook Neo, if you want something that would just works out of the box.

So people have options and they need to realize there is tons of options for every need.

Well I want Microsoft to take a big step back and fuck their own face
