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.

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?

Never go with the first release of a version. 95a sucked, 95b better, 98 sucked, 98 2nd edition better and so on. Same with automobiles. Never go with the first two years of a complete redesign of a model or completely new model. You become a beta tester.

Running Win 7, I live w/out M$FT. Very comfortable life w/out updates that may make my computer unbootable.

If my HP printer dies I may be hard pressed to find another one with drivers for 7. But note the first word of that sentence.

Will Windows 11 be part of the Great Reset?

The biggest change is that Cortana is now a black woman, and talks with a black dialect.

I can’t wait to update. I hope it comes with a vaccine passport.

Oh, goody! Beijing’s latest spyware. Thanks, Bill Gates!

(so glad I stayed with Win 7 and turned off updates).

I use Windows 7 on my 6 year desktop pc which is fast. I have Windows 10 (bought) in a Oracle VM VirtualBox (free) for programs that only will run in Windows 10 like the new Office or Adobe products.

I would like to use android apps on the pc to use as many are free or inexpensive and work great to modify photos and do painting, illustrating, weather app etc.
