> the OS's "radically modernized, more consistent design...belies what is really more of an evolutionary update."

Means .. "we're pushing even more unwanted crap onto your screen in so many different ways you'll wonder how you're going to ever get any work done!"

I've never really been a Windows fan, and having recently wrestled with a Windows 10 installation for a local charity I can confirm that state will not be changing. Using a Windows 10 for actual work is bad enough, so I can only imagine what '11 will be like.

I am running Windows 11 Arm in MacOS Parallels as it's the only option (Microsoft Pulled the 10 Arm Builds).

I decided to not even let this Windows 11 VM connect to the internet (But has access to my MacOS partition to for file access).

It's a shame because windows got so many things right but it's starting to taste bad. We used to write software to have windows control some pretty cool stuff like automation, security and POS but there's no longer a "Pro" version without the dumpster truck.

I just started using an old laptop I was going to sell for my kids to be able to just slam on the keys and get interested. It's got windows 10 and man I forgot how nice it was just to turn on the pc and get moving.

Not all this garbage. Windows 11 is such trash everywhere.

I was worried when I found that I didn't have winget, but just installing windows terminal installed it with it. That's pretty much all I need.
