    Is this the tiling manager people talk about all the time?

      Ye, Microsoft’s Head of Monetization, Nolan Sorrento, calls it “Pure O2.”

      I’m not as savvy at tech as many folk in this here platform, but I was knowledgeable in Napster and limewire in my early teens. A dabble of DOS 3.0 when I was in k-5. I thank you for letting me believe that counts for anything at all.

      I log in to different computers at work. About half have updated to windows 11. I don’t know why only half. I’m not IT.

      I miss XP to this day. The cosmetic features aren’t useful to me because I grew up with alt+tab and such. I can adapt. I bet there are reasons - but for me at work, it’s just a minor inconvenience in creating new “muscle memory”

      I still miss xp

      Edit- just give me my start menu bqck

    Bold of you to assume you still get a desktop in between all the ads.

      It should be off in a corner or something. Not front and center where it’s blocking the main ad.

      Yeah, those ads are way to easy to ignore. Hopefully the working space randomly shifts tiles so your attention shifts periodically to the ads!

    This is less intrusive than current web ads. The entire center of the screen is ad-free, no pop-ups, no banners that grey out the rest of the screen, no paywall…

      In this image you could just put cardboard over all the ads to have an ad-free experience.

    Quite optimistic view. Do you think they will be so nice and give you a completely unobstructed working area? I am pretty sure that contradicts every sane ad strategy. Where is the “Watch one minute of ads before we can start your application” window in the center? Where are the 5 identical buttons of which only one will get you to file explorer, the other ones lead to File Explorer Plus only for 5,99$ per week?

    Current and future Linux experience: A functional and well engineered system, built by its users, for its users, and constantly improved based on feedback from the community. Oh and if you don’t like <insert Linux distro> you can just try a different one for free and see if you like that one better.

    I still use my bought in 2012 Photoshop CS 6, almost daily, no plans to upgrade. If i need to keep one of my PCs with windows, i won’t mind sticking to a old version for the long run

    Was this meme created in MSPaint on Wine?

        No, MSPaint on Wine is perfectly capable of this quality, and even meme fitting for this post. Using AI is overkill.

    That’s any future app. And the kick in the nards is that the developer who allow it earn like $2 a day if lucky. So we all get burned on the ad hellscape having hours of time wasted for $2

      Not open source apps, glad I’ve pivoted to almost entirely open source software. SaaS is cancer.

      And the decades long trend of minimizing screen bezel size suddenly reverses course.
