2025-02-05

Arrr, matey! Microsoft be spiffin' up the Windows 11 treasure map, givin' the Start menu a proper scrubbin'! They’ll be keepin' the on-board and Bing searches apart, lettin' ye steer yer own ship through the sea of options! Aye, compliance with the EU be the name of this game!

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round fer a tale of Microsoft’s high seas of change in the realm o' Windows 11, as they be bendin' the knee to the EU’s Digital Markets Act, savvy? Aye, in the fair European Economic Area, their Start Menu search be settin' sail into new waters, separatin' local results from the web trawled by that ol' sea beast, Bing!

Now, instead o' a jumbled mess o' results from yer own treasure chest and the vast abyss of the web, ye'll find a clearer path. One section’ll be for yer own devices, and the other fer web search from Bing, makin' it easier fer landlubbers to find what they seek without drownin' in a sea of confusion!

But hold yer horses! This be only fer the EEA crew, as Microsoft be wary o' losin' their plunder from the other parts o' the world. They’ll even let ye toss that pesky Edge overboard and disable Bing search if ye please! Aye, it seems the mighty EU be keepin' the tech giants in check, ensuring they offer options rather than pushin' their own wares. So raise a tankard, me hearties, for clearer searchin’ and fairer choices in this digital ocean!
