Upcoming forced move to Windows 11 and what makes my teeth itch about it

Please allow me to link you to an article on Neowin where the author hits every single check box I have vice one.

The one check box not marked in the article above for me is, the “Insider Program”. The author talks about time frames of, for example, wasting 13 years of work on the Control Panel / Settings fiasco they began way back in Windows 8. It continues into Windows 11 and its still a dogs breath.
There are other issues where the Insiders are causing hell on earth with all the gamer creature features and Microsoft not heeding that, not everyone will use nor have the same hardware. Leave the video aspect to the third party vendors already.

And finally. Two things. 1- If I wanted my desktop to loo like the MacOS I would more than likely have purchased an Apple product already. I’m just not into and never have been into that overpriced thing going on with Apple. 2- The hype about TPM and stringent hardware requirements for Windows 11 are a bunch of BS. There are recent issues with CPU’s themselves being able to load malware even before the BIOS hands off to the OS. MS security in those instances are mooted and also a dogs breath. Give us an OS that doesn’t “recall” every move and have AI read our data. MS owns the software, not the hardware running it. Government needs to get its head out of that deep dark spot about that and protect consumers for a change.
