It's hard to even take Windows seriously as a business OS when they're shoving this overly padded UI down everyone's throats. Windows 10 supported small task bars, among many other things that Windows 11 doesn't. There seems to be a lot of really tone deaf people at Microsoft working in silos, not really aware of the features people care about in their own product.

I doubt it will happen, but I’m hoping that windows 12 will make windows a more reasonable operating system.

Can’t wait until my work will be able to be done 100% on Linux.
