Hated it then
Hated it now
I hope it dies a slow painful death
I know what you mean, I remain a loyal fan of Win7 Pro despite its alleged demise in 2020.
Nevertheless, Win10 has become the "Win7" of its time and is now nearly 10 years old as well. Win11 is arguably worse, and is unpopular. Microsoft is simply acknowledging the reality that folks don't like it.
So Win10 will in fact die a slow death (software doesn't feel pain, alas).
Better than windows 11 with absolutely no privacy .
It reports back keystrokes and all to MS
