Windows 11 users who open the official Get Help support application of the operating system may be greeted with an advertisement for Microsoft’s Teams application now.
The ad is not the first for Microsoft Teams in Windows 11. Back in late 2021, a Microsoft Teams advertisement was causing freezes on Windows 11 systems it was displayed on.
Another day, another ad. Fun times to be a Windows user.
Solitaire was the 1st sign of things to come. /sadpanda
This article talks about ads for ms teams in windows 11, I got ads for office 365 from ms teams. Office 365 needs ads for windows 11 to complete the circle of ads, haha.
At some point, because of all the tasteless and shady behavior, I just decided that I will not deal with Windows anymore. And if enough “family geeks” do this when people come to us for support, Microsoft *will* feel it in terms of market share reduction.
The Xbox One initial design tells you all you need to know about them, their culture, and how they see their customers.
The next step is to begin advertising Microsoft hardware when the software support for a device is “about to expire”. And after that it will become free for all where Microsoft just sells ad slots to the highest bidder as if Windows was just some random shitty website.
We finally got to the point where the Microsoft tools would eliminate adware on systems… now the Microsoft Software has re-injected it. Another monopoly for them. They just didn’t like the competition.
Not sure I am to the point yet but MS is slowly pushing me towards MacOS. Sure that is a walled garden essentially – but at least it isn’t a self-driven spam fest.
