Don't forget <CTRL><ALT><DEL> for Task Manager if you need it.

My current daily driver is Win7 64-bit Pro. It is far from perfect, but it's usable. Win8 was a WTF right from the start, and MS's "fixes" were too little/too late IMO. I barely tolerate Win10, and then only when I need to for work.
Win11 is not just a step downward... MS fell headlong down the stairs. Win11is not allowed to stink up my home.

M$ has been using very agresssive dark patterns lately, with intrusive upgrade banners & ads everywhere. They have been testing the market and getting people accustomed to it. Either user backlash will force MS to back down on that crap, or enough users will accept it to make it worthwhile for MS. Giant corporations like MS don't care about individuals; their money comes from corporate users and the masses.

I long suspected the existence of two Windows development teams, with only one of those teams being competent. The good team would release its latest (good!) version of Windows, and then the other guys would get to have the next release.
Now it seems to me that all the competent team may have been broken up.
