  • 微软正在测试在Windows 11开始菜单的推荐部分为Microsoft Store中的应用投放广告。
  • 目前,这项广告计划仅针对参与Windows Insider Beta频道的美国用户。
  • Windows 11用户可以通过修改“个性化”下的设置来关闭这些开始菜单广告,具体是切换“显示提示、应用推广等推荐内容”选项。

微软正在试水一项新功能,将广告直接集成到Windows 11开始菜单中,特别针对推荐部分,推广Microsoft Store中的应用程序。 另见: Ziggo集团任命领导人,备战2027年阿姆斯特丹上市.

模糊推荐与广告之间的界限

这引发了重要问题,涉及提供无缝用户体验与追求新变现策略之间的微妙平衡。 另见: Alejandro Estua.

通过在推荐部分放置广告(该部分传统上用于个性化建议和最近使用的应用),微软正模糊了真正推荐与付费推广之间的界限。这种转变可能导致用户困惑和不满,因为原生内容和赞助内容之间的区别变得不那么清晰。

随着微软着手这项广告业务,该公司必须应对用户认知和信任可能受到的影响。在操作系统核心功能中加入广告可能会被视为侵入性或不受欢迎的,特别是当用户感觉个人空间被侵犯时。为了缓解这些担忧,微软明智地实施了一种退出机制,允许用户通过调整开始菜单设置来禁用这些广告。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·曼佐.

引导用户认知和控制

然而,问题仍然存在:这种程度的控制是否足以减轻用户的顾虑并保持良好的用户体验。微软需要仔细监控反馈,并在变现目标和用户满意度之间找到恰当的平衡,以确保这一举措的长期成功。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·埃尔南德斯.
