Yeah, they neglected to mention ads once in that article. I'm pretty sure that's the reason why no one wants it. I uninstalled it after like 20 minutes upon seeing the ridiculous amount of ads on a fresh install.

Yeah I don't understand how there's a whole article of "no one is using it" and the author then states "it's OK, there's nothing wrong with it".

If there's nothing wrong with it, why is no one using it?

Maybe because 11 is fucking awful. Maybe it's the ads. Maybe it's removing fuck tons of features for no apparent reason. Maybe it's the fucking awful design choices.

But no, the author just says "every decision has haters, people just hate it because it's different"

“it’s OK, there’s nothing wrong with it”

This person probably uses corporate laptop connected to an Active Directory server which has disabled all the questionable features via group policy. Because that's what I'm using.

It was a shock using 11 pro after having been forced into using LTSC at work, they're almost unrecognizable they're so different.

Yeah I went in with an open mind. It’s far less different than the Linux distro it drove me to
