(Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/12/24128640/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ads-app-recommendations)

For the last decade, I’ve been using primarily Linux (which I started to experiment with more than 20 years ago). I also use some older Apple OS X systems and occasionally boot a workstation running Windows 7 (but that’s the dunce sitting in the corner).
I don’t know. Doesn’t look nearly as cool as my XP desktop with custom themes did.

I assume there’s a decent chance that there are some Linux users that would feel similarly since there are 25 distros that are similar to XP
Edit: re: your username, if you haven’t read Robert Aspirin’s Myth series, starting with Another fine Myth, you really should do yourself a favor and read them. They’re spoof fantasy. Funny and magical.
