I mean yeah, that’s a probably part of it. The latest Outlook and Teams app is a privacy nightmare. Plus there’s ads, but sadly that’s nothing new with Windows. It’s also a continuation of their push for SaaS, pushing their subscription services like One Drive and O365. They also really want you to use their App Store to buy software.
Comment on Why does Microsoft want me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?
ChillDude69@lemmynsfw.com 4 months agoIt costs money to make a brand-new OS and keep it patched and secure. Why do they want to do that?
I suspect it’s got something to do with selling everyone’s data and/or advertising to them, and/or selling them products and services.

They obviously want their newest/flagship OS to be secure, or people wouldn't want to use it, and they'd be stuck supporting people on 10+ year old OS:es instead.
