We don't need repeated fucking full-screen reminders that Windows 11 exists. WE KNOW. Willy hears ya. Willy don't care[1].

Seriously, who's in charge here anymore? Shouldn't users get to decide what software they are running on their own computers? The user owns the computer, not Microsoft! If you publish software and users won't use it, stop and consider maybe you're wrong and not your users.

Rich from a company who, decades ago, asked "Where do -you- want to go today?" Today, it's more like "Where do -we- want to coerce you into going today?"
