How about giving us back control over updates, allowing us to easily turn off performance-leeching bloatware like Cortana, and not shoving ads into the loving OS? Nope, but the start button is now in the center of the taskbar! Just give us back Windows 7, the last good OS you made.

ended up on windows 11 as i was on insider slow (to try out wsl gpu, very good for cuda as i don't get along with the windows tooling at all), which again suggests that this is a tiny update.

much as i roll my eyes at people complaining loudly about old interfaces here and there in settings, the right-click menu in explorer is now an oversized list of like six (mostly useless, e.g. "copy") items, the last being "more options" which pops up the *old* right-click menu, which has a strict superset of choices, including e.g. the often useful 7zip shortcuts. between that and the new task bar offering no new features while not being possible to move from the bottom of the screen it is all pretty much comically dumb.

i doubt it is worse in any really *substantial* way, but it sure doesn't offer anything to offset these kinds of dumb changes.

microsoft is really beyond the pale lol, just absolute madness in the windows division
