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

Thanks daddy satya. Visionary

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

Why not use Linux? It will have exactly what you want, nothing more, northing less, it's free and beautiful and easy to use. There are open source variants for just about any software that you want..

I don't get why people still out up with windows

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.

Does anyone want windows 11 at all?

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

I’ve been using it for quite a while now… it’s fine. This happens literally every single time a new windows version comes out.

The only genuinely bad Windows IME was ME. Vista had driver teething problems, and 8 had a weird UI, but outside of that… they’re all just fine.

I’ve been building PCs since the late 90s and have pirated Windows from 98 on up.

Imagine paying $200 for that

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.
