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

Cool, as stated though, I would have persevered if it wasn’t for the vertical taskbar being removed. Oh you can’t have the main taskbar only be shown in the secondary monitor either. Look, I get that they are implementing features and apps are adapting and all that, but these features missing make it feel like a regression, alongside weird interactions with sound volumes I’m having in my work laptop where even if I change the volume, it gets lowered again and I have disabled all the features that let apps take control, dunno.

I’m a developer, I get that beginnings are kinda rocky, but that’s what I expect from a FOSS product, not a paid one. Is it weird that I feel that it’s unreasonable to get out of beta with all these kind of issues? To suggest very aggressively to upgrade? Specially when the upgrade was free for all the win10 users? It’s not like they had a big monetary incentive to push the release forward.

Win10 might have had tons of security holes and the cortana stuff, but it was really configurable, you could format the start menu as the win8 panel, as the simple win7 panel, or as the hybrid win10 panel natively, you could move the taskbar to wherever you wanted, across multiple screens, configure it as you liked natively. Now you need to install 3rd party stuff to emulate half baked imitations of those features, and if security holes appear in those products microsoft won’t fix them. Win 11 feels way too restrictive, in a way that I feel like it takes a lot of decisions not for me, but from me, and I really dislike that.

Yeah, I know that the win10 panels can be re-enabled through the registry, but until how long will they be patched? They are clearly deprecated.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling, I’m happy that you like the product.
