Is one of those "features" CoPilot? Because I did a search for it on my Windows 10 installation, and found several small bits of it, including a directory called "Microsoft CoPilot." It looks like a placeholder for a full installation, later on. I'm guessing Office 365 put it there.

The "and more" is the worrying part. They're telling us that some of the things they are adding are not 'features'. So then what are they?

Ads, probably. That's the trend these days. More and more ads, in everything, everywhere - just really probing the limits of tolerability.

I'm not stubborn, I'm just not going to accept a worse version of what I've already got.

They're going to make it shit so you're forced to go to 11, or the much better alternative if it's an option for you.

Windows is not a serious OS anymore.

Please no. I didn't upgrade to Windows 11 on purpose. I'm just trying to hold out as long as I can until I'm forced to switch to Linux. I don't want to have to deal with more enshittification in the meantime.

Windows laptops generally get trashy battery life, and if this going to tank it further, I'd just run Linux full-time on my family laptop and call it a day.

The only reason we had windows was my wife's comfortability and sometimes zoom glitches out on linux.

I recently had to roll back a windows 10 update because as soon as I installed it all of my startup programs stopped starting up at launch. As soon as I removed it, the problem went away.

No Microsoft, you cannot ruin my Win 10 experience to coerce me into migrating. It's gonna be a long annoying fight.

I love it, please keep destroying windows and let the holdouts suffer. Linux is the way

What's funny is right at launch I would have seriously considered upgrading, but I'm on second gen Ryzen and that platform was deemed not new enough at the time. Now they've added a bunch of BS and even though I think they've removed the restriction I'm over the new shiny thing and am looking heavily into a full linux setup.
