There are ads everywhere on Windows. And onedrive hijacks your filesystem.

Even at my fortune 20 company I see: "DNC RATINGS COMPARED TO RNC" clickbait crap. I'm amazed my company lets that garbage through. Probably because we have legacy software + some corruption with purchasing. Sharepoint... really?

No one was ever fired for hiring MS, etc.

I don’t use or plan to use Windows outside of VMs. But I think WSL made a difference to a lot of developers.

Mostly to those that never heard of Virtual Box or VMware Worstation.

It's a first party, better integrated solution. Makes a difference
