Hi folks
Can anybody please rationalize all these different builds now -- Incidentally was there EVER a full Retail W11 Pro release either and what was it. ??
Surely Canary, Dev and "Current" / RTM should be 3 sufficient streams -- It's got so bonkers now that people even on THE SAME BUILDS and even on THE SAME hardware get different features !! to say nothing of different stuff being rolled out depending on your location.
Is there a sensible W11 Pro / Enterprise LTSC version around too for those that just want a basic STABLE relatively error free system. where NETWORKING above all works properly rather than being a total Guess. With a complex system like Windows which is run on almost every conceivable bit of hardware and has zillions of different applications I don't actually think it does a bad job in the base OS especially considering its domestic non technical user base even if I think parts of the GUI now are looking increasingly a bit outdated.
Too much of the new stuff seems to be 100% pointless and doesn't really bring anything sensible to the table. As for security - W11 has insisted on TPM for years --even though TPM itself is ages old and there are far better security mechanisms -- and yet nothing is done with it at the domestic user level -- so if 99% of users don't use or need it why is it still a requirement. If Corporates need it then just make it a requirement for W11 Enterprise etc.
Cheers
