I'd pay extra for a windows that has nothing except the settings, task manager and the file explorer.

Every two windows version is a disaster. 95 nice, 98 sucked, XP was great, vista was a flop, 7 wow, 8 eurk, 10 marvelous, 11 is shit... They don't learn. But this time the goal is to make more money through adds, widgets and preinstalled bloatware.

While I'm not mad at all that they've killed Cortana as a service, I am a little ticked that they used the name for their C- Siri and are now calling their AI service Bing AI instead of using the Cortana name for that

They’ve realized nothing. Have you opened Edge lately? A gazillion new privacy-invading features that could be relegated to web plugins. Bloat bloat bloat.

Does anyone want windows 11 at all?

Not seen a single new feature in windows I cared about since XP 64 bit.

They really got trained well... Removing shit bloatware is not a "feature"

Thanks daddy satya. Visionary

I stuck Windows 10 LTSC on there, removed Edge and turned off all telemetry and it already comes with basically none. Never have been happier. No telemetry or bloatware.

The people app has been an abomination since the start and was barely updated since.

Now if only we could remove all the ads they are pushing…

Imagine paying $200 for that
