The fact that any company is able to show you ads after you PAID for their shit is bonkers to me. Don't get me started on repair and being able to unlock the bootloader on your device. No wonder education is very expensive and extremely hard to attain. They love the uneducated, so they can fuck them hard like that. Fuck all of them.

Microsoft, this is like windows vista all over again. Make it less shitty, get rid of all the crap you're pushing and make it faster. Call it windows 12 and if it's good we'll buy it. Worked for XP, worked for 10. How do you still not get this?

I sense 12 coming soon if MS wants to EOL 10 without losing customers.
I'm just acclimating myself to Linux and attempting to learn how to get Wine working. I'm just done with this shit.

I'm now recommending family members and relatives to switch to Macs if they're not willing to install Linux on their PC.
I'm trying really hard to educate them about how intrusive Windows 11 is. But in the end, it's like Facebook or whatever. They just don't care about their online privacy and how their personal information is handled. Sometimes I don't even know why I try.
The moment I can verify a solution for my music production workflow on Linux, I know that I'm out as well.

I had to make the change to Windows 11 at work, it was certainly a downgrade. Pretty common that there is a massive wait for even the most simple applications to load. Quite often I end up opening multiple copies, because I think the first click to open didn’t register, click again and they all open at once. This is on the same hardware that Windows 10 did fine on.
because windows 2000 was peak windows
As much as I loved 2000, XP was better and 7 the best ever.
2000 was the pioneer though, it was such a huge step forward in every way

Microsoft was doing a somewhat ok job at windows with windows7. Then they decided to do stuff like remove media center and remove support for TV tuners and pump up the tracking and assorted idiocies

Windows 10 no longer being updated by Microsoft is it's biggest selling point
Lol was windows 11 was a scam to make companies pay for future security updates this whole time?

When you "have" to keep making new versions to satisfy market "demand" in the "free" market.

Hmmm.... Maybe people using windows 10 really do love the full screen ads! Yeah! They missed the ads so they went back to windows 10 until they can get those ads in windows 11! Yup! That must be it!
I would double down on full screen unstoppable ads. Maybe one that looks like a BSOD? That would be lovely!
I wonder if the stats will rise considerably during 2025 with all the business and enterprise environment switching after delaying the upgrade for a few years. We certainly have to do that at work.
I don’t understand how Windows 11 file system/explorer just chugs so much. If you have a folder with more than a dozen or so files, it’s optional whether anything will load or not. Everything about Windows 11 is leaning into the worst aspects of windows 10, without any benefit.
