    It was possible to skip Vista and go straight from XP to 7. You could even use the same PC.

    It was possible to skip 8 and go straight from 7 to 10. You could even use the same PC.

    This time around, Microsoft is forcing Windows 11 as the only option, forcing people to throw away their machines, and it is backfiring on them. People are rejecting it and the competition (Linux) has never been as good as it is today.

    The executive also noted that 500 million PCs don’t meet Windows 11’s system requirements

    So much unnecessary e-waste. I never want to hear about how ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’ Microsoft is again.

      Apparently some are even opting to reinstall Windows 7 rather than the trash fire that is 11. It seems like 10 was never loved, merely tolerated, and as MS continues to enshittify 10 in an attempt to force people onto 11 some are just going back to the previous good version of Windows.
