    bloat accumulated over the lifetime of Win10 -> Win11.

    Microsoft attempting to “unify” brands but instead causing massive confusion is the root cause.

    Does the Onedrive integrated into Windows 11 replace the one that is a standalone taskbar app? Maybe? They certainly can’t be the same thing because the taskbar Onedrive wasn’t signed in on boot while the Windows 11 account is a Microsoft 365 online account.

    Is the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription going to cover Microsoft Teams that work requires? Maybe not? I mean, it was previously Skype, and before that Lync.

    And is Outlook or Outlook (New) prompting a sign in?

    I couldn’t begin to explain what went wrong and how to prevent such bloat in the future, because it was all official Microsoft software. There was nothing to “avoid” doing in the future. No teachable moment. Microsoft did this themselves.
