Eh, I’d consider sliding the window a little differently. Command prompt only OS’s like DOS or maybe even BASIC as the “rock.” Windows was more like a Model T car. Make W11 a Pinto or something.
I think Win10 started like that, but with time parts fell off until you were left with something shaped like a hammer.
Do y'all never tire of this circle jerk? I mean how many posts per day about hating windows 11 and the inevitable end of microsoft does lemmy need?
Do you never tire of commenting on the circle-jerk? You could just... skip it, ya know?
Well I moved from having no account and seeing this stuff pop up all the time to making an account...so no, I haven't yet tired of it. But it's only been a day so let's see.

Most of windows products get increasingly worse over time. Security updates aside, I've never understood why the didn't just stop updating things to save themselves the money and save us the hassle.
Windows 8 was actually great after the initial issues at launch.
8.1 addressed my issues.
