It’s almost like people don’t want a buggy operating system that shoves AI down your throat every chance it gets.
I could tolerate a buggy operating system that shoves AI down my throat. It's the intrusive adware, bloated telemetrics, lockdown to cloud accounts and other wildly insecure practices by Microsoft (like screen recording, sharing my data with all law enforcement, rolling out untested updates) that ALL have me avoiding Win11 like the plague.
It's really incredible how much Microsoft is dropping the ball. All this nonsense, and they still haven't transitioned to UWP, or even ported all the control panel through like 4 versions of Windows.
It makes Windows 8, and even Vista, look so put together.
