Knowing Microsoft count on it being default and mandatory as their new OS.
I was forced in to the windows 11 realm for security requirements from a customer. I have a beast of a computer. MS dropped it’s gigantic turd on the hard drive and what a stinker. My old XP machines ran faster. It had THREE instances of their crap Co-Pilot running in the back ground. No option to turn them off when installed. So I finally got those sorted out (one instance from the OS, one instance from MS Office, One instance from “Teams” for some reason.) So much garbage was installed in the back ground it took days to sort them all out. Then all the special effects were garbage that just sucked resources. AND, what would an upgrade be without eliminating, or at least hiding, all the old hot keys and context menus we had been using for a decade. I can only imagine this new garbage forced AI will hog more power and bandwidth while providing nothing valuable.
Give me AI that sorts my emails and tax books and I’ll use it. Until then, get off MY hardware.
Maybe the better thing to do would be to reinstate Windows 8 which made more sense to me. Or maybe start developing Windows 12 in a sensible manner. Too early to say, but I have the impression that many people are not going to like Windows 11.
