I waited until the last day of support to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10, I plan on doing the same with Windows 10.

With Windows 10 and 11 Microsoft has been gradually removing control from the user's hands and I'm still miffed about that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've already decided I'll be going full Linux when Win10 reaches EOL.

I can vouch for that I have windows 11 and I want to go back to windows 10

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I'm still having troubles to understand why'd they even want Windows 11 to happen and I'd really like some more informed people to help me out.

They had massive mergers as an unpredicted expense. I also don't know many people who bought the last XBOX unlike previous gens or ever used MS Store. Is that sweet lobbying money from hardware producers? I thought they planned Windows X as the peak Windows platform to then sell internal products (game-as-a-service but OS), so did this plan failed?

Windows 11 looks like an afterthought and the centered taskbar may be intentionally put there to make it look different from Win10 while it's probably the least changed new release as I learnt after a brief encounter with it (after XP, I don't know much about earlier OSes).

Had they just run out of money?

I can't wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.

You mean like they did when Windows 7 went EoL?

Or when Windows XP went EoL?

Or when NT 4.0 went EoL?

This isn't the first time Windows has gone EoL in a corporate environment; what makes you think it'll be better or worse than previously? Some will begin the Win11 transition, some will pay for extended support until Windows 12, a few might switch to Linux, and the rest will run unsecured until circumstances force them to fix it.

Geez Microsoft, I wonder why? If a product is good, then it doesn't need to be pushed onto consumers.

It slowed down my desktop experience significantly. Like it makes no sense at all. One day I'm working I solidworks on windows 10 and old computer at acceptable speed, the next I get assigned a new, bastly improved computer, with windows 11 and solidworks latest version, and it's slow as fuck! I just want to end it sometimes. It lags, it crashes, it's worthless! SW is worthless on its own, but with windows 11 its like 10 times worse. I think they are actually serving it on a server secretly and we are just remoting into it. It behaves almost exactly as when using remote desktop. It's terrible and I want it gone!

What's the big deal with Windows 11?

I don't use either win 10 nor win 11 much but I do know that I barely notice the difference.

I thought it was just a start menu rearrangement or something.

How would you notice a difference in something you have no experience with?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You don't need to actively use something to have a general idea of it. Maybe it's not on his machine but he sees friends/family use it. Maybe he's seen ads, reviews, YouTube videos, articles.

I've never watched NASCAR in my life but I'm fairly certain I could point out differences between one of those cars and an F1 car.
