Too many things I use have been removed or obfuscated (EdgeDeflector as an example). Here's my opinion on updating to Windows 11. I do find it interesting that there are more Windows 2000 and Vista users combined than Windows 11 users. I'm definitely getting comments "no you don't know what you're talking about", but that's why there's this handy little "IMO" marker stating it as an opinion. Perhaps the "tick tock" method of Windows releases where it goes " good bad good bad good bad" ( XP Vista 7 8/8.1 10 11) Similar to Amazon's Kindle (non-Fire) update where they made the UI a lot like the app, but didn't realize most Kindles don't act like phone touchscreens?

Windows 11, at best, is still in beta stage IMO - they released the OS with Snipping Tool broken somehow, their "File Explorer update for Windows 11" was a shell extension that can be disabled with a few commands, their Android support didn't release with the OS and has been delayed to 2022, the taskbar is centered without activation so you have to home in on the start button instead of just dragging to the side, etc.Įssentially it's Windows 8 all over again, where they made it nice for touchscreens but forgot a lot of people don't have touchscreens. I thought at least they'd get 1% adoption! But more interestingly, Windows 11 adoption is now barely over Windows 2000 (0,15%) and Vista (0,18%), but still far below Windows XP (3,62%) and Windows 7 (5,98%), which all are End of Life. For the moment, Windows 10 (81,48%) remains the most popular by a long stretch. Additional Lansweeper data research, focused on Windows 11 adoption rates revealed some interesting data, as only 0.2% of users have made the jump to Windows 11.
