We see this everytime a new Windows comes around.

You'll have your hopeless Windows users who're equally as bad as Apple cultists. Screaming at you to upgrade because "THE SECURITY! THINK OF THE SECURITY! YOUR SYSTEM WILL FUCKING DIE IF YOU DON'T GET YOURSELF SECURED!1!1" when all you fucking do is just check e-mail, oh my god. /s

But the fight to resist upgrading has gotten longer and will get longer. Going by the Windows OS global stats of it's marketshare, 3% are still clinging to Win7. 23% hopped to Win11. 70% is still Windows 10.

By the time Windows 10 loses it's extended support (that isn't the Enterprise edition), we're going to see the changes then.

I can't wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.

I waited until the last day of support to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10, I plan on doing the same with Windows 10.

With Windows 10 and 11 Microsoft has been gradually removing control from the user's hands and I'm still miffed about that.

I've already decided I'll be going full Linux when Win10 reaches EOL.

Geez Microsoft, I wonder why? If a product is good, then it doesn't need to be pushed onto consumers.

lol

I'm still having troubles to understand why'd they even want Windows 11 to happen and I'd really like some more informed people to help me out.

They had massive mergers as an unpredicted expense. I also don't know many people who bought the last XBOX unlike previous gens or ever used MS Store. Is that sweet lobbying money from hardware producers? I thought they planned Windows X as the peak Windows platform to then sell internal products (game-as-a-service but OS), so did this plan failed?

Windows 11 looks like an afterthought and the centered taskbar may be intentionally put there to make it look different from Win10 while it's probably the least changed new release as I learnt after a brief encounter with it (after XP, I don't know much about earlier OSes).

Had they just run out of money?

I can vouch for that I have windows 11 and I want to go back to windows 10

It slowed down my desktop experience significantly. Like it makes no sense at all. One day I'm working I solidworks on windows 10 and old computer at acceptable speed, the next I get assigned a new, bastly improved computer, with windows 11 and solidworks latest version, and it's slow as fuck! I just want to end it sometimes. It lags, it crashes, it's worthless! SW is worthless on its own, but with windows 11 its like 10 times worse. I think they are actually serving it on a server secretly and we are just remoting into it. It behaves almost exactly as when using remote desktop. It's terrible and I want it gone!

What's the big deal with Windows 11?

I don't use either win 10 nor win 11 much but I do know that I barely notice the difference.

I thought it was just a start menu rearrangement or something.
