I still haven't used Windows 11. Given that I'm an IT nerd with 25+ years in the industry, and essentially live and breathe this stuff, it's a little remarkable. My computer's hardware doesn't officially support it, and while I've gone through the checks I need to disable in order to upgrade, I haven't seen what Windows 11 offers that makes me want to upgrade.

Other than turning the Start Bar into something more like the MacOS/Gnome dock, I haven't really seen anything the new version brings to the consumer. It's more of the same, but give us money please.

It won't even let me upgrade to 11 on my old desktop. Why is everything requiring more and more power... cough Planned obsolescence

Edit: Huh. I thought my old computer was just a bit crap (it is) but someone more knowledgeable is also complaining https://aussie.zone/comment/1904977
