Windows 10 was fine until they started trying to patch all the ways to avoid using a Microsoft account. Windows 11 is horrendously worse.

My work laptop, a Surface Laptop 7th gen, runs Windows 11. Adobe Acrobat will grind it to a halt. Fucking how.

Adobe Acrobat will grind it to a halt.

to be fair, Acrobat itself is a very heavy heap of dung. There's no reason for anyone to use it if all they do with a .pdf is reading.

Just because 11 is worse doesn't mean 10 was good. 10 was a shit-show from the get-go. It came with aggressive dark patterns trying to trick people into installing it over their Win 7 and 8 machines, came with mandatory telemetry, ads in the start menu and a built-in keylogger.

So it's not "fuck 11". It's "fuck Windows".

god i hate the constant "LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW" with passion. i once had to log into a coworkers teams account and apparently windows decided that's good enough and automatically & without asking linked my entire local windows account with her work microsoft account

one log in took hours to undo

learnt my lesson - never log into microsoft through any of their apps, only ever use web based alternatives (and never on your main browser either, as sometimes logging out is just as painful as logging in)

Android does pretty much the same thing with Google accounts.
