Article is 90% spot-on. Win11 is the first time I do not want to upgrade, because it turns the actual bad parts of Win 10 up to...11!
MS is annihilating the good will they get from me via VSCode, Terminal, VStudio etc...
1) The ads, my god, the ads! Even normal, non-tech, people see this stuff and make a sour face.
2) "Lets finish setting up your PC" : Excuse me sir, its been set up for 4 years. Stop trying to get me to link my phone! I don't want O365 at home! I don't want to switch to Edge (it is not terrible but have made another choice.) I better be careful ant not mis-click or god knows what settings will be changed.
The UI stuff i really don't care a wit about.
Suggestion: Whatever, fine leave this garbage in 'Home' edition but let 'Pro' mean PRO and stop fighting me.
