Same was said about Windows 7 as people protested the switch to Windows 10. New telemetry, aggressively forced updates, and other factors made Windows 10 a nightmare for many. Yet now, when Windows 11 is even worse, people start thinking of Windows 10 the way they thought of Windows 7.

Essentially, Microsoft can make Windows worse and worse for as long as the previous iteration is better and people got used to it.

That is exactly how I felt back then. Waited as long as possible to switch to 10 from 7 but then got used to it. Honestly I still think 7 was better. But no fucking way I'm switching to 11 with the way things are going at Microsoft.

Usually Microsoft would have 1 good release then 1 release that is shit. Seems like it'll be straight shit from now on.
