Microsoft is once again stepping up its efforts to convert Windows 10 users to Windows 11, this time running full-screen ads to push the new OS.
Microsoft has been trying to convince users to migrate from Windows 10 to 11, but the newer version of the OS has yet to achieve the popularity of its predecessor. Windows 11 has arbitrarily high system requirements, meaning hundreds of millions of computers are not compatible. In addition, many users are hesitant to embrace Microsoft’s wholesale adoption AI throughout the OS.
The company has been getting increasingly pushy in its efforts to promote Windows 11, but the latest attempts are some of its most brazen yet, as Microsoft us using full screen ads that override whatever the user is doing.
Linux usage has been increasing in the last couple of years, reaching all-new heights. Given Microsoft’s aggressive tactics, and their failure to respect that users should be in control of their own computers, it’s little wonder that many users are looking for alternatives.
