    Nah, that shit started to creep in with the imacs - when system 7 became macos.

    Win 11 really isn’t functional. There is a serious brain drain problem in microsoft, and as a consequence they’ve broken some seriously fundamental shit (see: alt tab debacle) made some seriously stupid staff decisions (see: guy responsible for win11 start menu and how it’s coded) and somehow even managed to break their own printer spooler.

    Vista at least had the woe that it was forced into hardware packages that weren’t powerful enough to handle it, win 11 is just a steaming pile of garbage code.

      It works, though. And the UX is basically Win10 with a modern big data business coat of paint.

      Even if I buy that the brain drain in a company with a staff the size of a mid-tier city can’t sort out the tech side, which is debatable, that is still a functional OS.

      One can make excuses for Vista, but it had absurd compatibility and performance issues in the hardware it was targetting. 95 and Me were barely stable enough to run software. Windows 8 was a (bad) tablet OS crammed into a desktop environment.

      I’m not saying Windows 11 is good, I’m saying the bottom of this particular barrel is in the Mariana trench.
