    Windows 11 isn’t a particularly bad version of Windows by any stretch of the imagination. Some elements of the user interface might grate a little, and there will always be users for whom one design choice or another will be loudly rejected – there were those, after all, who raged at the imposition of the Start Menu over the Program Manager of old. But the operating system itself is… fine.

    The enshitification of Windows has been going on a long time.

    I don’t want the latest flavor in my devices.

      They’ve been getting a lot more aggressive with forcing preloaded apps, and advertising by the way of ‘recommendations’ or ‘suggestions’ and they keep making it harder to disable. Forced bing web search, forced ‘AI’ integration… It’s pretty bad these days. Windows 7 feels like the last version that you could actually run lean without risking stability.
