That’s where you lost credibility.
Windows 7 was their last non-tracking OS.

1 minute during setup is not exactly a sacrifice

It doesn’t stop all tracking, a lot of it still happens in the background, only “without identification”. If you thought otherwise, I have this pristine Eiffel Tower for sale.

It’s not 1 minute, you have to be technically savvy and run scripts from GitHub

It shows where Microsoft’s mind is at. And it won’t stop here.

It’s still missing a handful of features from Windows10, which might keep some people from upgrading

Ungrouped task bar buttons, I like seeing what’s running on my task bar at a glance. And I don’t like having it shrunk down to just an icon either.

Eh, I don’t hate Windows (unlike a lot in the Fediverse), but I wouldn’t say Win11 is awesome. It probably just works. From what I see it’s just a mildly-improved 10, which is nice, but missing a few things (no grouped task bar button option in my case), which is why I’m holding out for now.

Windows 11 is a much better experience for developers than Windows 10. I see a lot of people who just hate on it for no real reason other than it’s different.

I’m a dev and I hate Win11. I could list dozens of reasons why, but one that pisses me off daily is that they removed keyboard shortcuts from task manager for no goddamn reason. Alt+E is the shortcut to end process on every other Windows OS except Win11 because it was made with malicious incompetence.
