Yeah, fuck MS and everyone should try to run away as fast as possible, but this isn’t the big thing people should be worried about. I literally didn’t notice what was different in those screenshots until I read more. Maybe this is done to add things in the future that’ll be bad, but it itself isn’t. I’d be much more concerned about Recall.

TL:DR: There is barely any difference at all. They added some account manager, but in general the start menu looks how it looked before.

Apparently it nags you if you don’t have a 365 account. So it’s just more enshittification.
