  • You can make this argument for literally every business, though. Which business does not have a single pool of resources and multiple clients to consume them?

    The majority of factories. They get an order in and produce the product until that order is fulfilled. They don’t have to be running 24/7, it is just that that is the most profitable.

    But if you stick to your “analogy”, a factory also chooses who their customers are. And if some are too demanding, they just drop them. Like the casinos.


  • Sheesh, talk about overreaction.

    Almost all commercial software are advertising their manufacturers other stuff. Ever installed a graphics card driver? How many ads does that show for games and software that can run on the card? Steam also pushes sales by pop-up advertisements.

    Google has been fined multiple times because they went much further than just advertising their own stuff.

    Can you disable ads on an ad platform with a single setting? Didn’t think so.

    So no, Windows 11 is not an ad platform, not even close.
