Microsoft believes that all Windows 10 users need is a little convincing, but people aren't jumping over for reasons far more complex than that.

    Majority of the shit that they’re touting as ‘new’, have already been done in past Windows OSes.

    Widgets? Vista did that. Touchscreen? Windows 8 did that. Search? Really, fucking search? All Windows OSes did that. Paint? Are they fucking serious?

      3d spatial sound always gets me.

      Seems like it literally never ends, claiming to have some kind of new tech that revolutionizes 3d sound for either music or games.

      Reality is almost nobody even today releases music in 5.1 or 7.1 format, and 3d spatial sound via software for headphones has existed since like 2002.

      The Xbox Game Bar certainly is not new to 11… They just made it more of a system component than a program.

      MSFT Accounts aren’t new, OneDrive isn’t new…

      Also, after the gigantic kerfuffle caused by TPM requirement for Win 11, they are now apparentlty dropping it as a requirement?

      So fucking glad I don’t work for MSFT anymore.
