Raising this dead article as Microsoft now delivers extended support pricing details for those who choose not to migrate to the newer version of Windows. The one they were told they’d not ever have to migrate to

Maybe to 12, a lot of people stuck with 7 until 10, because 8 sucked. A lot of people stuck with XP because Vista sucked. A lot of people are sticking with 10 because 11 sucks. In history, Microsoft has had a usable OS every other.

If 12 is shit, perhaps Linux will finally get its day.

Windows 11 is essentially just 10 with a theme over it. 90% of the hate for Windows 11 also applies to 10. The only real new thing is the hardware requirements.

11 has ads, AI and other annoyances crammed in.

Windows 10 had ads from the start. That was the biggest complaint about it on release, and the fact that people hate 11 and are ok with 10 on that baffles me.

And somewhat coincidentally the bing shit was added to 10 before 11 got it.

I wish. Most stuff I used to do now has extra clicks required, the right click 7z panel, the process monitor kill process button (now hidden on a submenu on a right-click), and I can’t put the taskbar vertically!!! I use two monitors, I’m used to having it on the right monitor, on the left vertically. The reasoning was that not many people move their taskbar and while that might be true, after some regex modifications, the only thing that’s completely broken if you put the taskbar vertical was the news button pop-up (it didn’t align correctly), which is basically ads, and I’m completely against them gutting features because their ads need extra work (not that much work, just work).

Besides that, having a fat suggested apps bar on the windows menu that takes 30% of the space is a thing again, which is ad space too. Great

Anyway, KDE is cool. Thanks Microsoft, I would have persevered if it wasn’t for the vertical taskbar, now I’m happier.

Classic right click menu is a regkey away.

Classic control panel is still there too.

I have 4 monitors, task bar on all of them, not sure why yours doesn’t. Apps even go to the appropriate task bar per monitor when minimized.

Suggested apps size can be minimized.

They only show you “ad” apps on first boot, otherwise gone once you remove them.

Me thinks you just like to complain lol

There’s no reason 7zip can’t be in the default right click menu other than laziness. Devs have had the option to add stuff to that menu since the start, but it wasn’t until 2023 that they really started actually supporting it. Nanazip is 7zip with a Windows 11 UI and it supports the menu.

W11 is also just slower than W10 for no reason. The file manager especially is quite slow.

Haven’t kept up with it, but that certainly wasn’t the case on release and I still don’t think it’s as functional as 10. I have only used it on a family laptop and had trouble simply connecting a printer, it drives you even further away from useful settings than 10 does.

Theme is subjective of course, but I much prefer 10 myself.
