Hi all,
I just want to say (as I have said in the past) that is one of the top notch forums for Windows support and we have some of the best qualified users here.
I am probably not the oldest and the most experienced but after almost 25 years of doing desktop support, building PC's and 7 year MVP, I think I can add my 2 cents without feeling too embarrassed.
I have always been amazed at the Windows operating systems and have also always anxiously waited for the newest version with the bells and whistles that come with it. XP and seven were among my favorites, but I must say that 10 21H2 (even 21H1) has taken the top spot. What nags me is that MS has taken this bad habit of not fixing simple issues like Dcom 10016, VSS, event 200, 201 issues and so on and on... But despite that, this system runs very, very well, just a way bit less snappier then 11 but a lot, I mean a lot of issues you don't see with 11.
Yes, you might say, "well it actually took almost 10 years to get here" and you are totally right, but we are HERE!!
So, why would I want to start this process all over for how many years? I don't know. The BIG difference now is that making the move to a new OS was fun because it was very different and had new ideas which at first I didn't like (just as often other users react to new stuff) but got to enjoy after time.
Now, I didn't want to add my 2 cents without first playing around the OS and I have done that for a few months.
This the first time that I don't want to upgrade to this new OS. It has the same issues that 10 has (although they are minor) but on top of that some of the settings that I have grown to like are gone. Can't add files to start, can't slide my favorite links to start. Added a context to context menu to make it more confusing and I am not mentioning everything. Sure, I can tweak and add reg files to get most of it back, but I already have an OS that does this.
The difference with this OS is that, for me, it doesn't add anything new which wasn't the case with XP and 7. They had a whole bunch of new tools and toys that made life easier. On this OS I even have to have a chip and enable to get (in my case) nothing that I want.
I could go on and on, but like I said, I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me but that's what freedom of choice is all about.
And that my friends, are my 2 cents.
