Microsoft is using Windows 11 for advertising in a way that may cause less experienced people to be exploited by malicious or low value software.

The Windows menu just advertised a VPN solution to me. Are VPNs bad? No. Are most of the VPNs who advertise bad? Absolutely.

You shouldn't have to be an expert at computers in order to use one safely. A consumer should be able to trust that their OS maker isn't getting paid to present malicious advertising on their computers. This is vile.
