Windows 11

Hmm. Little things like this give me pause:

If you used to right-click on the Taskbar and open the Task Manager from the corresponding context menu, too bad, you're out of luck. The Windows 11 Taskbar does not have a proper context menu.

It's not streamlining if it prevents you from doing something in the simplest way. Maybe I'll hold off after all.

Lordy, I only switched to Win10 just over a year ago, at this rate I'll be taking the plunge some time around 2030

superb overview between the two. This video has just confirmed that I really do not need to upgrade. I will leave it until MS switches off support for Win10 - around 2025

...and I really do not need any Amazon Android apps on my PC.

....and so it begins. This is why I never install or buy SW 1.0

I'm increasingly glad I've held off in the end.

The 15% performance reduction on AMD CPUs feels like it's intentional, which begs the question of whether there's any law which would prevent MS in theory from artificially hampering performance on "non-favoured" hardware. Pretty shady if that's what's happening.

I'm not sure I would go that far; my fairly new Surface laptop has an AMD processor in it - I don't think Microsoft would intentionally cripple one of their main hardware lines without it affecting the competition equally.

....so anyone upgraded ?

Sly Boots · Post by **Sly Boots** » Thu Oct 21, 2021 5:54 pm

Nope, and it's highly unlikely I will.

yeah it looks like none of us are up for it

well this is going well for Microsoft. Does one think we are seeing Vista mark II

The high profile problems aren't going to help with the adoption rate, but I think it's a bit early to be saying Vista 2.

Windows does seem to have that Star Trek movie problem of a good one followed by a bad one.

98 - good
Me - bad
XP - good
Vista - bad
7 - good
8 - bad
10 - good

Of course I'm conveniently ignoring 95, which was revolutionary, and 8.1, which I consider a retcon of 8 rather than a full blown version. There's 2000, I guess, but that was never really marketed to home users.

good summing up. I expect a lot of people have the same feeling we do. Win 10 ain't broke, why am I upgrading again?

8 was good!
