I read the article. Deceptive headline.
I dont see start menu ads? I see the account manager button will take you to your m365 account instead of your local account settings. This is what’s inside the article, i dont know where they got the title from.
thats an ad for their cloud services
Sort of, but that has nothing to do with Windows 11.
yes. thats why it doesnt belong on windows.
It's just them moving their accounts to be cloud accounts instead of local accounts.
That sucks, but they've been pushing for that since Windows 7 I think?
I think that started on Win8 and fully implemented on Win10. I don't remember Win7 have this BS. At least not obvious that makes me remember if they have.
Yeah, I haven't used Windows for like 15 years, so I don't remember exactly when they started pushing for cloud accounts. But it's not new with Windows 11, it's been their focus for at least 10 years now.
