Well, you certainly are passionate about it. I'll continue to use the number one desktop os in the world with over 1 billion installs. Why people would want to use an OS that doesn't receive updates is a mystery to me.

Well, if you continue to use Windows 10, you may end up with a compromised OS riddled with bugs and spyware. If you use Windows 11, you are voluntarily installing a compromised OS riddled with bugs and spyware.

Like I said, I'm running Win11 on 5 of my PC's and they are running like clockwork. No bsod's, compatible with all the hardware.

compatible with all the hardware.

Literally a lie. It's limited to system with 8th gen or newer Intel processors, and TPM 2.0 motherboards. The compatabilty was arbitrarily limited, as there are hacks you can do to get windows 11 working on older but not supported hardware.

But hey, some people like Natural Light beer, just don't try to sell it to me like it's a Chimay ale.

I suppose you're right in that respect. I use Rufus to run it on unsupported hardware, so I had completely forgotten about that. I was referring to 3rd party hardware.
