I manage a university computer lab and am only planning to upgrade because new consumer devices ship with it. This has already caused a lot of trouble.
So as somebody who has avoided Win11 just because I use a taskbar in a configuration that Win11 doesn't support (docked to the left edge of the screen, no grouping, full text labels) what's the reason other people are avoiding Win11? Something about ads?
Because on the "windows login" thing, I actually like that part. Having automatic cloud sync of my documents and config across machines through OneDrive is handy. I agree it shouldn't be mandatory, but it suits me.
No grouping and full text labels is also why I reverted back to windows 10.
I’m fairly sure Microsoft touted Windows 10 as the “last version of Windows” and were just going to build on and improve it forever.
But yeah Windows 11 is shit. I wish we could all go back to Windows 7.
Not upgrading until Steam stops running on W10, and maybe not even then.
Am suspecting Microsoft will pull another one of their tricks where new DirectX doesn't support Win10 and you'll simply have to upgrade to be able to play new games. They pulled the same stunt with Win7, since people didn't want to move away from older versions. They are no strangers to such methods.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
