The first ads in the Windows 11 Start menu will look familiar.

The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

    Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.

    I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I’m just old and used to better software.

    I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.
