Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.

Hey Satya, just give us Win10 back and fuck off, you bald fraud.

Nah, windows 10 was still sluggish spyware/adware.

I would only ever consider switching back to windows if they updated windows 7 with the latest kernel/security updates.

No apps, ads, ai, or shitty UI frameworks.

A functioning offline-only search, a cohesive/responsive UI, and control over if/when updates get installed.

Thought about that but some newer storage and network connections may not be supported.

We have that. It's called Linux

I use both Windows and Ubuntu/Mint for personal use, WSL for personal dev environment (because MS SQL Server on Docker limits what I do), Ubuntu/Redhat for dev/test/prod environments.

I like Linux but it can be a hassle little things so Windows.
