- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 8 months ago:
we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,
I wouldn’t count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That’s why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.
Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That’s why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.
MS knows that desktop is dying.

In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don’t allow to change certain settings.

but then they can still set colors, that we don’t. Or at least there are some colors they can differentiate between, that we can’t.
e.g if they have a receptor for orange, yellow and red, then can differentiate between pure orange and orange that is 50% red and 50% yellow.
So both is true: We have more colors (because of brain-things), but they still have some colors, that we don’t (because of receptors).
