Microsoft keeps insisting that it’s deeply committed to the quality of Windows 11

• Windows 11 has ads! Maybe they should have an ad-supported, free version for those that don't buy the license and register it, but there should definitely not be any ads in the paid versions.

This. This is the largest and most unforgiveable sin IMO. I get they want to generate more revenue for services. Making the platform I run software on to be an adverstisement machine is an incredible hassle and counter to what a good OS should do. Same with the tracking.

I would really like for them to add some small quality of life features

Snipping Tool
I would like a magnifier for the cropper, so I can select the sides to crop precisely.
I would like to add shapes, numbers tags, text. I know they added some, but more is needed.

Seconded.

I have never liked that the snipping tool has had some terrible markup tools on it for years. I can't speak for all users but I use the snip too usually to clip out some example of something I need to share with others and I would draw on it to emphasize where on the clip the problem is or add notes to it for documentation. Just draing freehand is terrible for me. It is only recently (as I remember) that they added the ability to draw straight lines and arrows. Still no text box or number tags function.

I have been using Greenshot for a few years now that easily does this work for me in one tool. Make this better, MS, please.
