Folks can’t afford to buy a new computer right now, so M$ needs to give them an alternative to installing Ubuntu and finding out it’s plenty fast on their windows 10 machine.

I have Win10 on a computer on my left side as "backup" system.

I decided I won't change to Win11, so Win10 will be last Windows version to use. It's no issue in that I am using Linux since late ~2004 anyway, but I am also unwilling to cater to Microsoft anylonger. I think it is time that governments no longer force people to use Windows in general. For similar reasons I reject the upcoming mandatory age sniffing that lobbyists are pushing for (together with their attempt to kill off VPNs).

Why does Windows 11 still have "Control Panel" and "Settings", both of which are similar but entirely different?

I hate Microsoft, I was very happy with Windows 10 but Windows 11 is different for no reason except to be different.

Nice, it gives me another year to think about what I want to do with my old gaming laptop

Thanks DoD! While you’re at it let’s keep SCCM around for another 50 years! Woooo!

The old "Windows alternates good and bad releases" rule is dead and buried. Every major version since Windows 7 has been a downgrade on what came before. I'd rather be using Windows 8 than Windows 10 and you will have to drag me kicking and screaming into Windows 11.
