I had to do it on my work machine for QA reasons by Fullofkittens 12/20/2021, 6:21am PST My review is that it's Windows 10 with a sprinkle of questionable UI decisions on top of it to justify: Leaving people behind who don't get the new crypto chip that Win11 requires Trying to make the disgusting, despicable Microsoft Store more central to the experience Promoting Microsoft's shitty-but-good-enough also-ran cloud offerings (Teams, O365) ...of these, only the first actually justifies the new OS. I'm salty about it because they told us like 3 years ago that Win10 was an evergreen OS. And then they just shipped Win11 like they never said that, and never mentioned it again. But as always one thing that impresses me about Microsoft is that - especially compared to Apple/macOS - they are extremely good at keeping old shit working on new OSs. Everything that worked on Win10 pretty much works on Win11. Everything that worked on Win7 pretty much worked on Win10; transitively, everything that worked on Win7 works on Win11. Win7 dropped 12 years ago! Keeping old shit working is a lot of work, shouts to them for being good at that.

Anyone taking the plunge to Windows 11? by that time of "fuck" 12/19/2021, 10:20am PST     Seems prudent to wait until there's no choice. Let the others be unpaid QA.
