They’ve apparently aren’t able to invade our private life enough.
You have to be vaccinated before you can get the update.
windows is now like the nfl/nba/mlb/nascarfor me.
i’ll buy a macbook air before ever using a machine that comes with windows
All spyware, all the time.
If they’re giving it an evocative name I vote Windows Covid...
They still can’t stop Ransomware, why bother!
Windows is shareware.
It shares your data with the NSA, China, and anonymous hackers.
Who seriously uses Windows? You spend good hard earned money so they can invade your life and trash your computer with forced updates? Stop buying windows garbage.
Excuse me but I’m still using my old Vista.....years since any updates and it’s working fine.
Window 10 is a buggy POS and Window 11, given past history, will be even more buggy and craptastic.
Maybe it’ll look and work like Win 7 again.
/I crack me up
>> may be more of a reality than some think
Like... time will tell.
OMG what a fustercluck of circus clown crap.
And since when is the ancient “Windows Inverted” cursor a “new thing”??
its ok
They give you zero temptation to give them your money
Thank Christ for that, friend.
I loved Windows 7. Then along came W8 and it screwed up everything.
Now we may have to pay for another complicated, often useless system.
For those of us who don’t have degrees in Computer Science, we say, “Keep it simple and usable, stupid”.
I didn’t even bite when they gave Win 8 and 10 away free, though they’re both worth exactly that much.

Wouldn't that be nice?
More likely, it will be even less intuitive than 10, which admittedly was an improvement over 8, albeit a minor one.
Microsoft continues to mimic and follow Apple. After 20 years of MacOS 10 ("OS X"), Apple finally goes to MacOS 11, and within a year, after 6 years of Windows 10, Microsoft goes to Windows 11.
Why, oh why, didn't Microsoft get ahead of the game, for once, and jump to Windows 12? Then Apple would have been forced to go to MacOS 13 which would be unlucky, right?
Sadly, I don't look forward to Windows 11. I think it'll be a disappointment -- yet another iteration of the nearly 30-years-old WinNT broken kernel, and a less and less useful UI. *sigh*
What I would find exciting would be a release of the Windows 7 GUI and NTFS/AD running over a Linux kernel. It's entirely possible, some say it's inevitable, and it will rock the world. I may not live long enough to see it, though.
