Windows 11: Just Three Clicks Away From Insanity


-
I have been a reasonably functional Windows/Office user since 3.0 in 1990, however, MicroSoft has managed to decimate that usability with Windows 11!
Writing and editing a simple document is now a Win-11 challenge spread across multiple screens with dozens of dubious options and disjointed selections.
Apparently, MS has decided to move the user community off PCs and onto their www-network, whether we want to move or not, and Win-11 is part of their process.
To add insult to injury the 3rd party application vendors have been sucked-into the morass and their applications have become contaminated too.
-
To add more insults, much of the change is being advertised as moving to the 'new-improved' artificial intelligence environment.  Perhaps we all should be sticking to the 'original intelligence' for a while longer and simply improve the 'search' functions and human useability.
-
For Example: how can we get back to the original “Digital Image” application?

Kudo’s to the Apple Community who are avoiding most of this MS disruption.

“Windows 11 has got to be the worst Operating System I've ever used in my life.
I've never ever been this disappointed in a software product as much as I am disappointed with Windows 11. I've always held onto the current WIN for as long as I could, and last month I bit the bullet and thought I'd give WIN11 a go, and I'm regretting it ever since. It's not even, "omg this is new, I don't know how to use it" type of frustration - no, the OS is a complete mess, it's unstable, messy, unprofessional, and the entire thing felt fake and dysfunctional on so many levels. It really makes my blood boil.”

Other than that Ms Lincoln, how’d you like the play?
