Arrr mateys, this be the worst idea to come from Microsoft's hull! Ad-filled taskbar be a pirate's nightmare!

Arrr, it be true! Microsoft be tryin' to sneak in adverts into Windows 11 like a scurvy dog tryin' to sneak aboard a ship. 'Tis a sad day when ye can't even use yer computer without bein' bombarded by sales pitches. Give me me trusty parrot over these pop-up adverts any day!
Arrr mateys, it be said that Windows 11 may be gettin' a new button on the taskbar, and it's causin' quite a stir among the landlubbers. This 'recommended' button could be showin' all sorts o' suggestions and adverts, much to the chagrin of many a user.The scallywags at Microsoft have been keepin' this button under wraps, with all its strings stripped from production builds. The fear be that these 'recommendations' could become a permanent fixture on the desktop, with the button changin' its icon dependin' on the suggested site.But fear not, me hearties, for it be uncertain if this button will see the light of day. If it does, there may be an option to turn it off, but it still be a worrisome sign of Microsoft's intentions.And as if that weren't enough, there be talk of 'promoted apps' in the Start menu, meanin' more adverts and suggestions bein' shoved in yer face. It seems the powers that be at Microsoft be considerin' makin' the whole system one big advertisement, a prospect that be leavin' many a seadog with a sour taste in their mouths.Let's hope Microsoft reconsiders this path, for a pirate's life should be free of constant bombardment from ads and promotions within their own ship. Aye, it be high time they respect the gold we've already given for their wares, or we'll be takin' our business elsewhere, savvy?
