  Windows 11 is pretty awesome though

    • Once you remove all the tracking and ads, which were already fucking intolerable in 10

      1 minute during setup is not exactly a sacrifice

        It doesn’t stop all tracking, a lot of it still happens in the background, only “without identification”. If you thought otherwise, I have this pristine Eiffel Tower for sale.

        It’s not 1 minute, you have to be technically savvy and run scripts from GitHub

        It’s how’s where Microsoft’s mind is at. And it won’t stop here.

      10

      That’s where you lost credibility.
      Windows 7 was their last non-tracking OS.

    It’s still missing a handful of features from Windows10, which might keep some people from upgrading

      I’ll bite, what features are missing

        Ungrouped task bar buttons, I like seeing what's running on my task bar at a glance. And I don't like having it shrunk down to just an icon either.

    Windows 11 is a much better experience for developers than Windows 10. I see a lot of people who just hate on it for no real reason other than it’s different.

      I’m a dev and I hate Win11. I could list dozens of reasons why, but one that pisses me off daily is that they removed keyboard shortcuts from task manager for no goddamn reason. Alt+E is the shortcut to end process on every other Windows OS except Win11 because it was made with sheer incompetence.

    Eh, I don't hate Windows (unlike a lot in the Fediverse), but I wouldn't say Win11 is awesome. It probably just works. From what I see it's just a mildly-improved 10, which is nice, but missing a few things (no grouped task bar button option in my case), which is why I'm holding out for now.

  I’ve used Vista “exclusive” programs on XP back in those days so I’m kinda curious how exclusive it really is if I could get the installer/files for it.

    Shouldn’t be too hard, I expect it to be a single executable stored in C:\Windows\System32 , much like the current mspaint.exe. Copy it over, run, have fun

      Wouldn’t surprise me if they lock it to the windows store. I hope I’m wrong!
