Agreed, but to say an operating system is so much worse because 3 clicks when comparing overall functionality seems highly exaggerated. There is a reason most companies went from 7 to 10 and skipped 8. They are also going to 11. You could argue that enterprise OS’s are separate though, but really they are very similar, and the reason windows does so well in companies is because most users have it at home. If most users go to something else at home, (or simply stop using home computers with the switch to phones, tablets) then enterprise will change and slowly feed the prominent OS for work back to home use. It’s a catch 22. If the standard user has to use something 40 hours a week at work, when they come home that is what they will be used to. Also what their kids will become used to. But companies don’t like to change what people are used to, as it slows production, and costs a lot more in training.
It’s not about whether you know how to turn it off; it’s about the fact that you have to do that at all. Also that you’ll have to do it again when Microsoft decides to reset the option behind your back. And pushes you away from changing it (default browser option). And ignores it (default browser option).
The general feel of it all is incredibly frustrating.
If you dunno how to switch that off in 3 clicks you should probably stay away from computers mate lol
the ads in a paid os shouldn’t be a thing to begin with.

Yup, reasonable points.
But, it is 3 clicks for now, but it might not even be an option later on. Yea yea, doomer and tinfoilhats. :)

My exact feelings about Linux
Fair enough to feel that way, but we’re taking about windows here.
