Statement like this you can read in almost any product lauch in the last decade orso, hard to take these serious, heck when win 7 launched and you are the same age you were now you would have probaly also hated it, feels a bit like it's different then what I'm used to so it must be bad..
I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on that one.
I understand the concept of people becoming change averse as they get older, I really do.
But be completely honest and name to me the improvements in Windows 10 over Windows 7, or in Windows 11 over Windows 10.
Most of it's the same ****. it's an operating system. It runs my programs.
Windows 10 got some scheduler improvements, which was a good thing. In fact, from the pure OS perspective, Windows 10 when launched was the best windows ever. It was all the stuff they forced on you with it that was the problem.
App infrastructure, Cortana, cloud crap, Microsoft Accounts.
The truth is that there are good releases and there are bad releases. Just because older releases aren't automatically better just because we are familial with them, new releases aren't automatically better just because they are new.
If a new release improves my life, I like it. If a new release makes my life worse, I dislike it.
Microsoft has been on a binge now for over a decade to try to transform their business model to one more like Google and Apple, and those business models were ****ty from the start. I realized that already when I was in my 20's.
So don't pull this "you're just old you don't get it " bullshit on me.
The entire tech world has been going to crap for years, and it has been because of objective anti-consumer strategies, removing control and ownership from the users, while mining them as a resource for data.
It's profit incentives doing what profit incentives always have, screwing everyone they can get away with if it improves revenues.
