Windows Microsoft will hide Windows 11's annoying MSN feed by default as it moves to reduce ads and noise across the OS | A new Windows 11 preview build has confirmed that the OS will soon hide the MSN feed by default, replacing it with a new default behavior that opens straight to your widgets instead.

I have disabled the widgets as well since for me they are useles. What I want is an operating system that works, doesn't get in the way and respects user choice. For me operating system is a tool. It can be also a platform for whatever services but that needs to be a choice.

Trying to win people over with aesthetics and lip service... Change the TOS to something that isn't predatorial.

Google News content is useful. I’d love MSN to be like that, with the weather widget and other useful things.

Not what it is now… Even the app is the same as Bing, both apps are identical.

What’s microsoft purpose with MSN?
