Windows 11 isn't that terrible, but Microsoft is definitely keeping up its tradition of swinging between great and mediocre OS releases since Windows 98. By that token I suspect Windows 12 will be amazing.
My take is that pretty much everything I dislike about Windows 11 I already disliked about Windows 10.
Forced unremovable phone/tablet apps, Cortana, pushing the Windows Store, pushing the Microsoft account, Xbox shit integrated into Windows, cloud integration, data collection and spying, etc. etc.
Windows 11 is no worse than Windows 10. Now, some of the new Co-Pilot and ads integration may change my perspective here, but really what I hate about Windows 11 I already hated about Windows 10. To get back to an OK Microsoft OS, I have to go all the way back to Windows 7 when they mostly let Windows be a local operating system (like every computer operating system should be), mostly without a forced ecosystem and all of that junk.
...but Windows 7 went EOL in 2015, so I can't justify using that anymore for lack of security patching.
So I don't understand peoples opposition when it comes to moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Everything bad about Windows 11 is already there in Windows 10, so what do you have to lose?
