I thought windows 10 was bad until this week I started trying to configure windows 11.

Windows 10 was bad enought with its ...

Ubiquitous Normalization Of Data Collection

When Microsoft released Windows 10 on July 29th 2015, it solidified its position in providing an operating system which undermined basic human rights with respect to privacy and overall system control. A shift towards an unjust source of power, via Windows Update and various other subsystems, amalgamated in a poorly designed user interface focused on cognitive ease and commercial advertising: This was to become the new era of computing. It’s important to remark, that due to Windows 10’s update mechanics, combined with Microsoft’s decision of abolishing its testing division for update distribution, a stock system is extremely unpredictable and subject to an ever-shifting, uncontrollable state of disarray - but nevertheless vulnerable to leaked back-doors, in cooperation with the NSA - seriously undermining and questioning the validity of the official narrative’s claim to security and progress.

Baking into windows everything the NSA ever wanted was hard, so there was not a lot of time for microsoft developers to work on those pesky user expericnce things like, say for example: moving the taskbar to the left of your screen.

Asked when users might be able to move the taskbar the answer: Windows 11 won't gain a side taskbar any time soon, according to Microsoft's head of product over Windows Core Experiences.

"...When it comes to something like actually being able to move the taskbar to different locations on the screen, there's a number of challenges with that, ... When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to understand the environment is just huge."

If I did not need software titles that no longer run on Windows 8 it would be the end of the line. As it is I have finally (almost a year ago now) embraced Linux and started booting nothing but Linux. Any program I need on windows is opened in a virtual machine and shut as soon as the task is done.
