With screenshots. It sure seems like someone at Microsoft really admires KDE's Plasma desktop:

Screenshots reveal new Start menu and taskbar design.

I'm going to go back to Windows XP

I'd be interested in finding out what is really new, besides the UI elements discussed in the article.

Well I'll be on my current laptop for another 2 years, so looks like MS has time to work out the bugs before I buy one with 11 on it.

How about MS being careful to check the range and size of all inputs, including null. Checking for memory leaks. Then detect and act on all exceptions. Yes all the checking will take longer. Do you like getting hacked.

I am dumping Bill Gates. Had enough. I am seriously going to trudge up the path of other OS's and certainly not going to use other MS garbage.

 

[daves87rs]

Have we even worked out the bugs on the current one? Hmmm…..

You really think Bill Gates has anything at all to do with Windows development or Microsoft in general anymore?

Nice. Looks good.

No not like that. I was just using the founder's name.

I'm glad I moved to Apple. When they issue an update, all the bugs have been worked out. Every time I updated Windows I had problems. They also like to change where things are. I've never had problems with any Apple update on phone, iPad or Mac.

I thought windows 10 was supposed to be the "last" version of windows?

 

[Kawiguy454]

I heard some time ago win10 was to be the last version youll buy outright. They were moving toward a M$ store and month to month subscription licensing based on features. Win10 and LTSC versions i use are rock solid.

 

[MONKEYMAN]

I thought all new versions of Windows leaked. They have a patch for that.

 

[gathermewool]

Windows 10 is darned near perfect for my needs. It’s smarter and a lot less finicky than any preceding Windows OS. It also supports everything I use. I’m just your average Joe user, not a no-nothing and not a power user.

I just hope W11 doesn’t do to W10 what 8 did to 7.

No wonder Kaczynski went off the deep end about technology ... nobody can leave a good thing alone. Just when I was starting to like Win10 and still love Win7.

Same here. The last few years I’ve moved away from….

Windows to Mac
Android to Apple
”Value” tires to Michelin
and finally…
General Motors to Toyota

For some dumb reason I was very reluctant to move off of all those brands, but now I’m kicking myself for not making the switch earlier.

I’m glad I’ve moved away from Windows as well. I have a much harder time trying to navigate it than I do the Apple devices. Currently I’m saving up to buy either a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to replace my 6 year old Lenovo. And since they didn’t keep their promise with Windows 10 being the last then it is what it is. My computer won’t update past 10 I don’t think anyway because it’s too old. My parents can’t understand why I prefer Apple to Windows or Android and I told them once you try it you’ll never go back. I was so glad back in 2019 when I convinced them to let me get an iPhone instead of another Android and now I’m on my second iPhone and I’ll never go back to the other side ever again. They told me if I want any Apple products besides my phone then I have to buy them so that’s what I’m going to do. Everyone I know that’s switched to Apple has never went back. I don’t really like what I see with Windows 11 so I definitely won’t be going back either.

I switched from Google Chrome to Firefox. It felt different, but I like it. I use Windows, but I might switch to Mac OS. But I still have to be familiar with Windows because I am in the technology field.
