Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11
Patches@ttrpg.network 3 days agoGiven the Tick Tock pattern of Windows OS and 11 being the dumpster~~ fire~~ tock
That honestly would probably get higher adoption numbers.
Windows 3, 95, 98, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11…

The weird thing is that Windows 10 broke that model. It always used to be that the even-numbered Windows versions were worse (after, let’s say, Windows 2000): ME (#4)? Bad. XP (#5)? Good! Vista (#6)? Bad. 7? Good! 8? Bad. 8.1 (#9)? Good! But then Windows 10 came out and threw the whole rhythm off.
You could pretty reasonably argue that 8.1 wasn’t a true version, and thus Windows 10 was the 9th version of Windows, but that just means that 8 was the combo breaker by becoming good eventually. In either case, Windows 11 being bad restores the bad version/good version rhythm.
