No shit…people don’t want more ads and normal features hidden behind 12 new windows/tabs…

Stop fucking with the os and maybe people will want to continue with it .

Yeah, they neglected to mention ads once in that article. I’m pretty sure that’s the reason why no one wants it. I uninstalled it after like 20 minutes upon seeing the ridiculous amount of ads on a fresh install.

Yeah I don’t understand how there’s a whole article of “no one is using it” and the author then states “it’s OK, there’s nothing wrong with it”.

If there’s nothing wrong with it, why is no one using it?

Maybe because 11 is fucking awful. Maybe it’s the ads. Maybe it’s removing fuck tons of features for no apparent reason. Maybe it’s the fucking awful design choices.

But no, the author just says “every decision has haters, people just hate it because it’s different”

Yeah I went in with an open mind. It’s far less different than the Linux distro it drove me to

“it’s OK, there’s nothing wrong with it”

This person probably uses corporate laptop connected to an Active Directory server which has disabled all the questionable features via group policy. Because that’s what I’m using.

At the risk of being pilloried here….

I’ve been using windows 11 at home and work for over a year now. It’s fine. I’ve not seen ads aside from easily removed links to apps (not even fully installed apps, just links to install them), I don’t see removed functionality. It’s not slow.

It doesn’t make me cum, it’s also not terrible - it’s fine. Just like every windows except ME and early Vista.

I like tabs in explorer and the new task manager. Dark mode notepad is nice. I got used to the start menu because across macOS and windows, I just keyboard shortcut -> completion match search to launch things.

This is the same cycle I’ve seen since 98SE.
