My new laptop is an acer put out by Microsoft.

With Windows 11
The home page is MSN news and it is the pits. So much rubbish, so many ads.
Click on a story and get a few lines.
It has co-pilot. Effin useless.
I wanted to search something, I had Australia in the subject line.
Never showed anything from Australia, only UK.
What a useless system.
There is a feedback button bottom right of page.
Left feedback.
"Has to be the worse home page of any. Co-Pilot is useless. Microsoft is a fraudulent company (The head of the consumer watchdog has slammed Microsoft, claiming it "deliberately hid" a subscription option from Australian customers.)
Be prepared for a billion dollar fine."

I hate how the MS start menu has become a billboard. My preferred fix for that is called OpenShell, also free.
