It’s like the Microsoft anti-trust trial in 2001 never happened.

Using W11 today, that's my first thought too...It's just ad after ad for Microsoft services. You will fucking install O365 or Microsoft will kill a kitten.

Must buy OneDrive or X doesn't work anymore

Need to buy a subscription for fcking MS Solitaire or you get inundated with ads

I swear I now can't tell whether people mean twitter or an arbitrary variable when they say X now...

Can't you install Windows 7 games package ? I did it with win 10 and I got all the solitaire, free cell, minesweeper, etc... without ads

It is not an official Microsoft package but you can find it easily on Internet.

A lot if things have changed since 2001. For example, the legal definition of "trust" when concerning giant corporations.

Mobile stole so many users from MS In the last 10 years that there is nothing the government could do about this.
