I am also a recovering microsimp. I even bought a god damn Windows Phone 7 at launch. Metro UI had such promise!

I have almost always found the good in Windows and have defended it for much of my life. I can’t for the life of me understand the changes 11 made to just simple things. Change the right click menu? Change the start menu location just cause? There is no reasoning to it.
I even justified Windows 8.1 weird start menu as moving to touch friendly. But 11 just irritates me.

I will defend to the day I die that Windows Phone was a legit great phone OS. I had several. It was only missing apps.

Yup. I got a new laptop with win11 and dutifully tried to get used to it. I ended up installing win10 pro by the next day, and even that I modify to behave a bit more like I expect. Maybe we are just old?

Not even just changed, they removed basic functionality. For example - you cannot put the task bar to the side of your screen any longer. Never mind the fact that monitors are widescreen. Never mind the fact that damn near every application has interaction at the bottom of the screen and it’s handy to be able to work freely without accidentally clicking something you didn’t mean to. Never mind that it’s been an option since windows 98. They just got rid of it. Only the bottom from now on.
