#2Windows 11 is awful. It ruined the calendar view on the taskbar, which is a huge pet peeve for me.

#4I paid money Windows 10 when Microsoft said "this is the last version of Windows - only updates from here on".
When they announced work on Windows 11, I switched platforms. It didn't help that the Windows 10 updates were incredibly obnoxious, restarting my computer regardless of overnight compute tasks I had running.

#5I am glad people seem to be aware of the hostilities against them, and are voting with their feet. However, we are talking about a single percent point. Holding my breath. If people seriously put up with win11, I can only see it getting worse.

#6Maybe windows 10 actually is the last windows operating system you will ever need to buy.
I remember when that was a big selling point for win10.

#7I’m wondering, what keeps Windows afloat? I’ve become a Windows person in my childhood, and stayed one because games, Photoshop and 3DS Max ran on it. I’ve long switched to Linux (and dual-boot to a very much unloved Win10 for games that don’t run on Linux these days), and I’m baffled that ads occurring in the start menu are a thing – I was similarly shocked when Ubuntu tried this, and will always be cautious around Canonical.
Inertia goes a long way, I guess – and switching OSs is kind of a hobby for a while before being productive again ..? I wonder, had I had a Steam Deck as a child, would I have been an Arch user now?
Would be interested in hearing other peoples’ stories.

#8Good. Unless publishing bad products negatively affects sales and profit, there is no reason for MS to change course.

#10Although they've improved it a bit since 11's launch, the task bar is still a regression from Windows 10.
