AskWoody PlusJuly 3, 2023 at 2:14 pm #2570832Oh c’mon now! No one is bleeding over Windows 11 at this point (if they ever were). Can we please back off the hyperbole at this point?
Speaking purely from a consumer perspective (because I do recognize and respect the concerns businesses have with such a major undertaking), I had a flawless update to Win 11 this past March. Haven’t had any problems since. And while it didn’t bring any groundbreaking improvements, I do like the subtle visual tweaks, and have no issues with the taskbar, or most of the other minor gripes being hammered into the ground here and on other forums.
Of course, YMMV but I do think it’s time to stop portraying Windows 11 as yet another fantastical “Devil’s Spawn of the Great Satan of Redmond”.
Or, to put it more succinctly, “for cryin’ out loud, it ain’t Vista!”
LOL!
