Lensflare17095356dWhat’s missing? For me so far the most annoying thing is the new file context menu.

qwwerty1143356d@Lensflare context menu is easy.

depends how carefuly your IT handled permissions, but in our corp it can be changed even without admin rights -
qwwerty1143356done thing which pisses me of is that i can no longer have taskbar on the side but must be on the bottom of the screen. thousands of customizations like this disappeared completely. initialy, the taskbard did not even supported icons+text
that got reintroduced after 2 YEARS of the system being released

ojt-rant1485356dRule of thumb, every other windows release is terrible.
7 was good, 8 was not (I actually thought it was ok....I stand alone)
10 was good, 11 is not. -
ojt-rant1485356d@Lensflare I still don't understand why 9 was skipped. Maybe it's an unlucky number in some countries

pinning custom toolbars to taskbar - "This feature has been removed from the operating system. "

Fast-Nop39378356d@ojt-rant There has been no good Windows after Win 7. Even Win 10 is just a little less bad than 8 or 11, but still shitty.
They didn't use 9 to avoid issues with crappy software that only looks at the first digit and would wrongly conclude "Win 9" to mean Win 95/98. -

And apparently 9 would make the impression of not being complete or just something intermediate. MS didn‘t want their "last Windows version ever" to be a 9.
So there are also marketing/psychological reasons.

got a new laptop today. corporate, so hey, there's your Win11.
i still recall how i could not believe what crap they released when i saw Vista for the first time. the tranisiton from 7 to 10 wasn't pleasant but ok.
but the switch from 10 to 11? WTF. half a setting is gone and i can only be lucky it's 2 years past release so some stuff that was missing is re-implemented back. some stuff can be fixed with 3rd party tools but hey - it can also be loaded with malware so no-go in work environment.
can't wait for what pile of horseshit is the 12 going to be with their "Ai bUilT iNTo OpERaTIng sYSem"
