Windows 11 is kind of like Metaverse. Nobody wants this except Microsoft deluded executives. Why couldn't they keep improving the Windows 10 and listen to what people actually want?

What's wrong with Windows 11?

Still cannot drag an object onto the taskbar to move it or open it in my selected program - something I do dozens of times a day, and something for which there is no feasible workaround.

the centered taskbar

As an ultrawide monitor user, I love the centered Taskbar. I only use Windows for gaming, but I couldn't use it for work if I didn't have the task bar centered.

Forced TPM and all of the subsequent practical and philosophical knock on effects

Forced Microsoft accounts and all of the practical and philosophical knock on effects

Adds nothing but adverts and obfuscation to windows 10, despite previous claims it would be the last OS increment and many people have built tools and working around windows 10 on that basis

Copying apple has reached a new low with UI and taskbar

Audio and wifi increased in complexity

The main question is whats the benefit of windows 11 over windows 10? I only see disadvantage where we need to have TPM so we can accept their DRM in future, or useless taskbar where dragging and dropping doesn't work etc.

Not to mention that additional bloats that will be added in windows 10.

Windows Xp could run in 128MB and that was perfectly fine for people like me. But now even 4gigs is not sufficient to run pc smoothly.
