Pfft next on your slippery slope you'll be making silly predictions about adverts in ridiculous places like the Start menu on Windows computers.

Pfft. Start Menu ads are for losers. You should advertise with File Explorer [1] to get to more people.

Don't tell Xiaomi or other vendors that ship a device with OS

Oh god, it is one thing to have it in Windows on a PC, but imagine having it on a device with a locked bootloader.

Obviously you should never pay for a device where they won't support you, the owner, unlocking the bootloader, but obviously people do. I'm not sure if Xiaomi are one of the manufacturers that do not support it.

UEFI Ads. Next big thing! Offer a replacement computer just when yours is being a bit annoying …

Why do you think they won’t let us fill the menu with pins?

Windows users can't be trusted with more than a few sharp items at a time?
