#162Earlier quoted context omitted.
Then Windows 11 came along to slow everything down and we are back to the stoneage.
Got recently a new surface laptop at work - windows 11 gives me the same feeling I had from Vista. Hilarious how modern computers are more powerful than ever, but windows 11 now feels worse than windows 7 ten years ago.
I set up an old instrument in the lab and the computer is running Windows 7 and it feels better than the newer machines running 11.
