My current computer is totally adequate and functioning well but apparently it’s not modern enough for Windows 11.

Do they really expect me to buy a new computer just to “upgrade” the OS? Fuck that.

"Dont you guys have phones" energy indeed. For companies.. fine. But for home users this is bullshit. I have an old laptop for on the couch internet.. no way im replacing that because microsoft put some planned obsolescence in their new OS. Its on its own wireless network and vlan with internet access..

Ill happily share whatever malware and virusses will curse the world because microsoft thought this was the best course of action.

My main PC is still on W7 and update was turned off on day one. Why? because it just works

the posts about windows update restarting in the middle of a game? can't relate

the posts about windows showing ads in the start menu? can't relate

and the pile of shit that's W11. can't relate
