I'm well versed, been in IT for decades, and my only substantial gripes about 11 (when it launched) were the removal of taskbar features and the capitalism issues with the store, ads, and telemetry. And I suppose the unreliability of the OS to update itself is just fucking embarrassing.
Now with the AI BS and their fuck you, you'll get nothing and like it attitude, I'm now actively against them. Except for farming and selling your data and not being able to reliably update eating hours of users time, I don't really care all that much. They're trying to be secure, they could do a lot better.
Win 10 was serviceable, apps worked, developers tested against it, it wasn't hard to look after a herd of them. Updates were still shit, but it's been that way since 8.
