    Really a bold - an annoying move to include adds in a paid product, so thanks for this!

    If they're going to force ads in our faces, they should provide the OS for FREE!

      Well IT'S FREE. You can use Windows 10/11 forever (only downside will be a watermark for activation).

    Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Off topic question. Is there anything better than Google Maps. I just tried "Here we Go". This is not the app to use if you're driving and your passenger is a Stroke Survivor. Which would mean I have more going on, while driving than most. As I mean earlier Google Maps isn't much better. Is there anything else you would recommend. Again thank you 👍

    OK have done most of these. But Mr Brett - is there a way to stop MS Edge continually asking me if I want to have it as my default browser? As a personal preference I don't want it to be default, I say no, and it lays off for a couple of weeks or so but then I get asked again. And I get asked everytime I have had an Edge update . . .

    • @BrettInTech
      @BrettInTech  3 місяці тому +7

      Unfortunately the answer is no. MS is extremely persistent in trying to get people to switch to Edge.

    Whilst writing, another thing that annoys me in Windows is File Explorer. I would like to see a much simpler arrangement where only the drive letters (and possibly Onedrive) appear in the left hand pane. Is this possible? To me, all the other Windows-generated folders are both unnecessary and confusing.

  • @kencreten7308
    @kencreten7308 3 місяці тому +2

    How do I feel about MS including ads, and tracking in their premier OS? It's direct and substantial breach of user trust, served up in a semi-obfuscated way, as your video is a witness to. They spread out the off switches so users have to go to different places in the OS to shut off what is fundamentally the same thing [think changing default apps in Windows 11 as well]. I'm guessing this is a psychological move that works. As in - Make it difficult for the average user to find things, and they might give up, increasing our profits. Windows 11 is a dumpster fire OS. I've used Windows as my main OS since Windows 3.1. I've also used Linux for near the same time period - from the Mid 1990s. This is the first time I've seriously considered, and probably will, split my track-able activities on Windows 11, over to Linux. If MS is willing to semi-obfuscate the security settings that turn off ads and tracking, what's to say they aren't doing it anyway, in some other way? Paying fines for getting caught is a drop in the bucket for them. They've fundamentally given up on users.

    @Brett in Tech
    Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you. In some of the comments a few are talking about Linux operating system. I have never used Linux. Is this a good alternative to Microsoft, I currently Windows 10 system. And I am looking to buy a new Laptop. My old Sony is almost dead. I 've had her for about fifteen years. Out of all the systems I have had access to. She been the Best. Back to my original question. How is to use between Microsoft and Linux. Is it difficult to learn ? Again thank you 👍

    • @BrettInTech
      @BrettInTech  3 місяці тому +3

      In short there are many great Linux distros that are user friendly like Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, etc... A downside for many people is some software is not made for Linux, but there are good alternatives for almost every program.
