Another one of the evil tech giants we all love to hate. (Some of us) can't live with them. Can't live without them.

Stupid windows updates nearly every time I turn on the laptop. Must be a real pos OS. Glad for iPads.

I shall wait until the very end to download it. Just to make sure it has all of the ‘bugs and gliches’ out of it. And to see if it doesn’t end up being another flop that Microsoft wish it had never issued. I cant remember the name of the one that was so horrible a few years ago...perhaps Windows 8?

Oh yes, it does not say so, but be ready to buy more RAM for your PC.

If it isn’t a mandatory forced update I will wait and let everyone else be the Guinea Pigs.

I thought Windows 10 was the be all and end all, the last iteration of Windows you’ll ever need.

Won’t help. Windows 11 will require 110 updates after waiting 6 months.
Windows 10 was updated 100 times.

Good news: Microsoft is going to offer Google’s Android apps (that will allegedly be able to ‘run natively’ in Windows 11)...through the Amazon portal in the Microsoft store. So, you can be sure to share all of your most personal information with all three of the worst privacy corporations in America, conveniently (for them) all at the very same time.
Yay?

Looks like Windows 11 requires a 64 bit processor.
My old laptop is 32 bit. Goody Goody, I will stay with 10 and skip all those slow updates.

It is the be-all end-all until the earnings begin to flag. Then a new OS becomes mandatory.
Never believed it for a second. My wife and I just laughed and laughed when Microsoft peddled that bunk.

If it's not too late maybe they can rename it Windows 666. (I hope they don't see this post. They would probably think it's a great idea.)

Windows 11 Look Inspired by KDE Plasma and GNOME , Linux , LOL
To: Sarah Barracuda
My working laptop is an older ThinkPad 530 with two SSDs and 12GB of RAM. One boots Linux Mint, the other (if I must) Win 10. Never the two worlds shall meet. I’ve had effing Windows updates bust GRUB before, and this is the only way to be safe.
