Windows 11

Maybe it's time for another lawsuit.

 

It would seem they didnt learn their lesson the first time

 

Maybe the message hasn't been clear enough. For most of us, being told " you suck" would be sufficient.
But, I'd be OK with something as simple a good old fashioned Chicago-style hitman contract.

Spoiler: But, there are better options...

 

What about games any problems for anyone so far?

 

Relax man, it's just an OS, no need to commit a crime

Yeah, still waiting when "the better option" will get a support for all software I need...
Either way I would end up using Windows...

 

Me too. However, we can definitely choose the 'better option' for everything that we can, browsing, email, word processing, etc., leaving Windows just for those few tasks where we don't have a choice. Like my favourite electronic circuit simulator - Micro-Cap from Spectrum Software. The company shut down, so no hope for a Linux version.

 

Windows 11 issue with Intel audio drivers triggers blue screens bleepingcomputer.com

Microsoft starts rolling out a new Windows 11 media player bleepingcomputer.com

Microsoft is now rolling out a new media player that matches Windows 11's look and feel as a replacement for the Windows 10 Groove Music and (in the future) the legacy Windows Media Player app.


The main reason Microsoft try everything they can to force you to use Edge browser. Use your data and privacy as main milking cow.

Microsoft makes it easier to pay in installments through Edge windowscentral.com

On the Tech Community forums, Microsoft announced a partnership with Zip (previously Quadpay). The partnership allows users to buy now, pay later in various online stores.

What a can of poisonous worms they offer you.

 

I really thought WMP 11 was itunes clone. I have stopped updating drivers and sticking to old ones since newer one had more sleep of death, optimus freezing, high battery drain, crappy game performance from both Blue and Green teams.

 

@Papusan @Mr. Fox I thought you two might enjoy this.

 

One of the many many reasons why this masterpiece of pure trash does not stay on my test computers longer than a short trial. I just can't handle it. And my stomach can not stand it.


Shop smarter with Microsoft Edge's helpful new price change alerts pcworld.com

Microsoft's Edge browser already has coupons, price comparisons, and historical pricing. Now it's adding new features to its mobile and desktop browsers just in time for Black Friday and holiday shopping.

Today, Microsoft said it’s adding even more: automatic alerts of price changes, and a migration of its coupon and price-history features to the mobile version of Microsoft Edge.

Edge is now taking price tracking a step further. Soon, Edge will use your browsing history to keep an eye on products you’ve viewed, and if that product changes in price, Edge will let you know. (Edge often uses the URL bar as a message center, with notifications that slide out. Presumably, Microsoft will also use this to notify you of price changes.)

 

Yup... he is right.

 

This one is for those that said Win 11 was so damn snappy. Why the need to fix it if this new OS is Gods gift for the Performance Jockey's? All too many people run into the Placebo trap. And some of they try even to trick you into their own weird world.



Windows 11: Microsoft to focus on sluggish performance in 2022 Windowslatest.com - November 19, 2021

WinUI, which is the native UI platform for Windows, reportedly feel slow and sluggish on some configurations. Windows 11 also uses WinUI for its core UI components and while they look nice, sluggish performance

 

They can't even get the marketing right, LoL. " UI components and while they look nice" ...I don't think so. I think it is repulsive looking. Sluggish isn't good, but it wouldn't matter if the opposite were true. If it is a disgusting eyesore, then who cares if it works right? It needs to be both pleasant-looking and performant to not be garbage. It appears it is neither, which begs the question of why it exists. The answer is, because Micro$lop is a company run by imbeciles in leadership positions from Satya Nadella down to the lowest-ranking executives. In other words, they are too much like crApple and that is why they suck at everything they do.

 

Edge and Windows 11 — the return of Microsoft's IE fiasco? computerworld.com | today

Microsoft, are you really planning to repeat your biggest business blunder?
This is no bug. This is a deliberate move throughout Windows to return to the past when your only real browser choice was the Microsoft choice. It backfired on the company then; I hope it backfires now.

Microsoft Edge faces backlash over new shopping feature/bloatware windowslatest.com - November 25, 2021

Microsoft Edge, apart from its features and performance, is known for its modern user interface that matches the look of Windows 10 and Windows 11. With minimal bloatware, Microsoft Edge has been fast and user friendly. However, the company has been slowly adding unnecessary shopping features to the Edge and users are not happy.

 

According to this article, 0.21% hurried over to 11 so far

Windows 10/11 mini-survey shows: Microsoft missed terrible the user needs (2021) borncity.de 2021-11-29 by guenni

​

It is sometimes hotly debated, whether Microsoft is developing Windows 10 and especially Windows 11 past the need. Susan Bradley conducted a mini-poll on SurveyMonkey weeks ago on the topic of "how satisfied are you with Windows 10/11 and the updates, the feature updates and the features offered". The evaluation from the end of September has only just come to my attention. First of all, the results are a severe slap in the face for Microsoft's marketing, which has been developing products that are not in line with the market's needs for years.

 

Users rage against Microsoft for integrating 'buy now, pay later' app into Edge
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/best-internet-browser-2020-2021.832782/page-16#post-11130944

Bloatware
Microsoft says it “does not collect a fee for connecting users to loan providers,” but as numerous commenters below have pointed out, that statement has loopholes big enough to drive a truck through. A Microsoft spokeswoman declined to say if the company received other forms of remuneration.

See above links.


If you use their M$ account to log into your OS (forced if you use their Win 11 Home Edition - The Cancer Edition- this disgusting OS version is meant for the less experienced computer users) they use it for all its worth. Major importance as etc knowing how old you are. Match very well their new Edge feature.

 

I've been running this for a week and wasn't super impressed, so I went back to Linux. I didn't like Windows 10 either, so hopefully it'll improve with age cause I'm thinking I'll have to upgrade my desktop to it some day.

 

I guess people are not sheep after all

Great News!

 

What is a flop?


Windows 11 a Flop, Survey Claims Less Than 1% Upgraded, Microsoft Improves Start Menu techpowerup.com | Today

Microsoft Windows 11, now nearing its third month since release, is for all intents and purposes, a flop. Market research by Lansweeper, which surveyed over 10 million PCs across the commercial and personal market segments, reports that less than 0.21% of the users it surveyed, had upgraded from Windows 10 to the newer operating system. The upgrade is free of charge. There may be several factors contributing to this lukewarm market response, but one of them is certain to he the steep hardware requirements. Windows 11 requires a trusted platform module (TPM 2.0), which disqualifies PCs older than 2018 for upgrades, unless the user is willing to try out workarounds to the limitation. Another factor could be the clunky user interface (UI), a less functional Start menu than Windows 10, and several UI-related bugs.

According to Lansweeper's data, there could be more people running outdated Windows XP, Vista, Windows 8, etc., than Windows 11, and this poses a great security risk, as these operating systems are no longer supported by Microsoft for regular security updates. Windows 10, on the other hand, is eligible for them until mid-2025—plenty of time for people to upgrade hardware to meet Windows 11 system requirements, or to simply make up their mind on switching over to the new operating system. In related news, Microsoft could give the Windows 11 Start menu a functional update. Test build 22509 introduces the ability to add more pins to the menu, or make room for more recommendations. The UI could see many such minor updates.

Windows 11 crippling NVMe SSD speeds according to multiple user reports neowin.com · 12 hours ago · HOT!

Windows 11 could be causing some performance problems for NVMe SSDs according to user feedback and reports online. The issues vary from reduced random writes to increased access times, among others...


And here is one that hope he can run Win 11 on his older Alienware. Why bother with TPM 2.0 chips? He will still need a custom install that let you install Win 11 without have to spend a dime on this HW module.......... 18 R1, 0NT4Y3 motherboard, TPM 2.0 module chip? Are people stupid?

 

Mmm-hmm, yup. They are. Three weeks after its official release in October, Windows 11 was installed on over five percent of PCs.

 

"Newer has to be better"... in 2009 when it could be argued that Windows 7 was a step forward from such systems as Windows ME and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard could be considered a great development from Mac OS X 10.0. 2021 is a different time and the only capability of Windows 11 I actually like is the Android app compatibility (I just can't stand newer versions of Android than Nougat and the less I have to use a smartphone, the better) but the rest screams for a "Windows 7 make over". A proper taskbar is a must, a proper start menu (the classical one) is also a must and the interface while being a partial step forward (Settings seems a bit more refined than in Windows 10 but still far behind trusty old Control Panel) so it will take Windows 11 LTSC with WindowBlinds for W11 together with a start menu replacement and a lot of "restoring Control Panel" tweaking before it could make sense to upgrade.

The funniest of all is all propaganda about the need to update, update, update and update again for the sake of it. Unless everything is updated, major dangers lurk around the corner of the PC... Eventually I would just use a bare bones stripped out Windows 11 whose only function is to launch a VM running Windows 7 and another VM running Linux. That leave two things for W11: Aforementioned VM and Android apps using WSA.

It is pretty fascinating to see the start menu. I fail to see how the original version that came with Windows 95 and the classic Apple menu in System 7/Mac OS 8-9 would need those kind of "enhancements" when it provides a quick, logical way to access applications. It is way faster to launch neatly organized applications using the fold-out menus over scrolling through the W10 variant not to mention the W11 ditto.

I would use W7 in a virtual machine already if Classic Shell didn't exist.

 

And if M$ have removed the new HW requirements the number would have been higher. Aka, the hole would have been too small.

That's one giant leap the wrong way or two.

 

They certainly are good at creating and implementing bad ideas. Probably one of the best at it that I have seen for a while now.

 

Maybe Microsoft should hire some engineers from Apple? I'm sure they can't be any worse than own engineers.

Windows Tried to Steal the Best macOS Feature—And Failed Miserably reviewgeek.com

 

Might as well. Being more like crApple will just provide confirmation of their incurable and insufferable idiocy. Windows 10/11 already suck bad enough, and once you reach FUBAR status, it doesn't matter how much FU is in your BAR. Trash is trash, no matter which company is shameless enough to put their name on it.

 

macOS is not a good reference point since it is the operating system that can't run a lot of applications written for "itself" as in "earlier versions". The issue here is that Apple force users to upgrade to new versions because applications require them; otherwise you will enjoy an endless "in order to update X, you need to upgrade macOS to Y" followed by "Z can't run on newer versions of macOS than A". If a Mac is "too old" (old in this case means a MacBook Pro running 10.10.x Yosemite), a lot of issues arise when trying to pair the "right" version of an application to the "right" version of the system. It reminds me of getting 16 KB more conventional memory under DOS or trying to fix the VXD errors popping up in Windows 95.

Windows 10 feels like a polished diamond in comparison with what macOS became. My favorite systems were Mac OS 8/9 and Mac OS X once upon a time and they even had good compatibility with "themselves" but macOS give me high blood pressure.

If Microsoft would like to get inspiration from other systems in order to improve things: Use Amiga OS, BeOS, Mac OS 8/9, Mac OS X (10.1-10.6.8) and Linux as their reference points. Using macOS as a source would only bring a miserable Windows 12 were a new version of Edge require Windows 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and where applications updated for 12.3 can't run on 12.0 or 12.1.

Apple has introduced a new low standard for operating systems and Google are following close behind with Android and Chrome OS (Android was good until 8/Oreo came out and turned into a turd when 9/Pie launched).

The final result will probably be using Windows 11 as a "launcher" for VMWare set to autoboot a VM running Windows 7 Ultimate and/or Linux.

I.e. Windows 11 boot to desktop, VMWare launches right away into the Windows 7 VM.

 

Lol. M$ needs to update some of their drivers, quite a few are still 2006 going on 16 yrs old. Windows 11 theme is more like it going towards a smartphone showing apps. Mswebview2.exe is another item introduced in Win 10 with Edge browser, multiple instances of it are in task manager whether you're using Edge or not.

The two biggest benefits of Windows 11 over 10 would be the Big.Little optimization (Alder Lake, ARM64 and also upcoming 2022 Ryzens) and WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) but it comes at the expense of bloatware, more interface tweaking (i.e. reversing dumbing down of things such as taskbar, Start menu and contextual menus et al) and general work in progress. If a PC is running Windows 10 today and it isn't Alder Lake either, just go with LTSC 2019 or 2021. The most stable, reliable version of Windows 10 and simply wait with 11 until at least 22H2 is out.

What I have seen so far hasn't indicated any benefits offered by Windows 11 on "pre-Alder Lake" hardware beside WSA. Windows 10 LTSC is a better option than attempting to debloat and tame any "regular" edition of Windows 11 (the same applies to Windows 10).
