People say Linux is looking better and better.
who said windows 10 was good
windows 10 got on a significant number of peoples machines because it overrode/forced itself onto those machines, it was unwanted
Windows 11 adds support for Android apps.
“Taking something good (Win 10) and wrecking it with a “new” version.”
How is that?
Even though Windows 8 had the option to switch back to a classic Windows look, way too many users grumbled, so Windows 10 had the more classic look.
Now users are back to fussing that it looks too much like their grandma's PC. Basically, there's no pleasing the customer base. It's kinda like many of the people who today fuss about too many blacks are behind bars are the same people who fussed in the 1990's to arrest more of the blacks that were turning black neighborhoods into ghettos. People tend to forget what they demanded to be happy in the recent past.
windows 10 has been morphing into windows 11 for a while
Why I’m staying with W7.
It’s long past time to bet against Microsoft. They’re going to be a huge player in the USSS (US Surveillance State) This is a done deal.

Which Microsoft Windows release hasn’t n been a field day for hackers?
PING!
I have Windows 7 64bit on my desktop pc.
I have 32gb of ram memory but I noticed that it said 16gb in use only (Control panel> System icon)
It turns out that Home Premium supports only 16gb and I had reinstalled the OS some months back and choose the wrong disc.....
I needed Professional which supports up 192gb memory.
I have a copy and inserted it but it said to use “upgrade windows anytime” when you type in the Start> Search box. So I did and entered my serial #. It took about 10mins and a restart later I had full use of 32gbs of memory.
What this tells me is Windows 11 can be installed on ‘older’ pc’s but Microsoft wants everyone to spend a thousand dollars to but new pc for just some cosmetic upgrade.
Now they are re thinking as many people will not! and I bet they change the requirements.
I am taking a pass on win11, got a win10 laptop 2 yrs ago because my job was moving to win10 and I wanted to be ahead of the curve.
Learned my lesson with MS DOS 4.0. Stood in line at midnight, installed it 4 times by dawn, went back to 3.3 and waited until 5.0 was a year old to make the move.
I have to use MS at work, but have had Debian on my home computer and laptops for quite a while. It was a little rocky back in the day, getting drivers to work, but now it’s pretty slick.
Windows 8 was not as fine as Windows 7, but I much prefer it to Windows 10, which induced me to buy a Mac. I still use the Windows 8 laptops I have.
I have Windows 11 installed already. Available now if you’re on on the “Developer channel” for updates.
It’s just seems like a minor update. A slightly different look (more understated), but hardly noticeable. Seems faster! Not one issue since installing. I think it’s a going to be an easy transition for most people.
I hear you won’t be able to get updates unless you show that you have been vaccinated. /sarc
I’ll be going back to Mac.
No OS as a service and tight Teams integration for me.
XP was the last M$ OS that sold itself. Everything since then the consumer has had to be extorted or strongarmed into switching to (in no small part because they keep making drastic changes in the user interface, so with each new version you have to learn how to use Windows all over again).
If you want a version of Win10 with all of the M$ bloatware, crapware & spyware removed (which also inadvertently disables authentication verification), look into Windows 10 Ameliorated (Win10 AME).
