Probably counting the Windows 11 users forced to use Bing search integrated into the OS

I don't use Bing or Edge simply because of how shameless Microsoft has become in trying to shove ads in my face. It's disgusting and deplorable. I don't care if their products are any better, I avoid Microsoft products and services as much as possible. Things like turning half the start menu into a space for ads. Things like integrating shopping extensions into Edge. Things like using Windows Update to add a worthless "Meet Now" button to the tray. Utterly fed up with it and I'm put off by everything Microsoft these days.
This is not the success Microsoft wants though. It's only a matter of time before Bing Chat hallucinates an incorrect fact about a particularly litigious company, and then it's game over.<p>I think this is also part of the reason Google wants to roll out BARD/LaMDA in a very limited set of contexts.
