So you asked someone how they knew something and then when they presented you with no less than six articles you cry about having to sit reading 'dumb' articles (how you know they're 'dumb' when you profess to not having read them is anyone's guess)....And you say you're not trolling..:rolleyes:

Which also brings me to another minor frustration (Applies to 10 as well as 11), why did they get rid of right click network -> Status. Used to be ideal to see everything about your connection in 1 place (Speed, uptime, IP addresses etc), instead the 10/11 Applet doesn't list link speed

They're putting so much effort into making every interface "user friendly", but it's not like people haven't been using Windows for years. The UI changes usually offer little-to-no useful info and you end up digging through the old Control Panel.

They keep reinventing the wheel. I hate the age of smartphone UI's we are currently in. Everything is a gooey dumbed down mishmash of idiot proof basic settings to change battery usage or cloud storage. I'm clinging onto windows 10 and retrograded it with PowerShell to function like 98/XP which I am sure so many others have done. P.S gonna miss being able to do that because I'm pretty sure 11 treats every execution file you download as a virus.

Once they stop supporting it they will force people to move. Devs move to new platforms and eventually leave the old ones behind.

If people don't move then they are going to be left behind in terms of security and there will be holes all over the place in the OS.

Oh I'm aware of that. And I have no idea what I'm going to do when push comes to shove. Everything I do on a computer has remained consistent since 2008 and I bet windows 11 will be garbage for running old programs.

I’ll worry about that in 2025 or whenever it’s out of support. They might have made 11 tolerable by that point.
 
windows 10 support ends in 2025 and windows 12 is expected in 2024, so you might be able to skip windows 11, not that that necessarily solves the issues but it could take us back to the old "good, bad, good, bad" release schedule.

This is all very familiar... But why? I'm trying to create a Vista in my mind of what this reminds "Me" of...

The changes they make always feel like they are done by someone who doesn't use the OS themselves.

Windows 11 doesn't change workflow that much from a useability point of view IMO.

it does if you rely on text in your task bar and expect apps to have separate entries. I've worked this way for 20+ years, I don't like having forced change that has no benefit than "looking cleaner"
