Do the start menu ads pay for this? It is conceivable that they could.

  You mean do the ads in the Win11 start menu pay for Win10 updates? Or does Win10 have ads in the start menu, too?

    Windows 10 has ads in the start menu. https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/76s2fq/windows_10_puts_ads_inside_the_start_menu/ https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/76s2fq/windo...

      Oh, I had no idea, probably because I use Open-Shell Menu (a start menu replacement). Thanks for clearing up this totally false assumption of mine, I thought one of the reasons they made Win11 was to update the fine print to enable crap like this. But if they can do that in Win10, too, I really don't get why they ever bothered with Win11 and not just kept updating Win10 to turn it into whatever they want.
