Just when you think Microsoft couldn't do worse, well, new low

Curious to see what Windows 11 looks like, I created another boot partition, installed second Windows 10, and did the upgrade to Windows 11. Wow, what crappy operating system - Yuck!!!!

Microsoft screws up every other operating system roll outs, and this is one of the worst. If I can get rid of that "widget" menu, and replace it with the old version of Start Menu, Windows 11 may be tolerable.

You know it is really bad when some of the contributors on the geek websites that cater Windows, are now talking about going to Linux.

Here is a list of Microsoft Winners...
Windows ME
Windows Vista
Windows 8
(Windows 9 that never made it out of the drawing room)
Windows 11 (worst yet)

When will Windows 12 roll out (to fix Windows 11)???

tbh, the only problem I have with win 11 is thst it's festooned with Spyware from msft.

The company I work for finally moved over to Linux after years of suffering through a horrible Windows-based Point of Sale system. Since the inventory system has always run under Unix and I use a Mac at home, my life is now blessedly Microsoft-free.

After getting over the initial shock of Windows 11, I can deal with it only for Internet functions. I avoided the microsoft account nonsense by first creating another partition on the hard drive, installed Windows 10, activate it, then proceed with Windows 11 upgrade of that partition only. Essentially, I will be multibooting all of my Windows 11 compatible systems this way. I use a batch file to disable the network connection so I can keep Windows 10 partition hidden away and continue working with it, and keep it safe when Microsoft ends support to Windows 10. At that point, Windows 11 will be used for internet access only.

Today I found the option to turn off widgets. In Windows 10 and earlier, I use classic shell using the XP menu option, so I can go to my programs quickly (using start menu folders). Once I find a solution for recreating the start menu so I can access my programs, most of the pain will be 'healed'.

Don't know why Microcrap couldn't provide an option to change the user interface, allow customization of the user interface, instead of a one panel concept.

Problem with Linux is program compatibility, and where wine could not help with it.

It is not because the Windows operating system is so bad, it is because Microsoft likes to give the middle finger to their customers - Why is that? Current battle, the desire to have the Start Menu restored in Windows 11. Every time someone finds a way to restore the Start Button, Microsoft sabotages their customers.

So far, Windows 11 is a loser!

Oh yeah, Windows 11 enables bitlocker without any warnings and prompts, for now, it is reversible.

Windows 11 is also looking more like a Mac, if I wanted a Mac, I would by one. We don't need a mac clone

My laptop at work has Windows 11. To remain in a familiar work environment, I have installed the Chrome browser. We have Office 365. which allows me an up to date version of Excel, and I do most of my work in an RDP session in order to run an older and highly proprietary piece of software (a custom database of our members).

I seldom venture outside of my routine to 'explore' Windows 11... primarily because I have plenty to do during my 3 day work week (Tue-Thu), and I'm just not interested in Windows any more. Problems are referred to the IT team, and I'm strictly an end user.

I've grown used to this arrangement, and find it to be quite productive and relaxing.

At home, I use only Linux, mainly Linux Mint (Cinnamon Desktop), and run Windows 10 only to amuse myself with Flight Simulator X.
