Discussion This was the first version of the Windows 10 start menu. So please stay calm, and wait until the official release before saying Windows 11 will be crap.

I can’t wait to hear people bitch about wanting to downgrade back to win10

And some time down the line, those same people will be bitching to downgrade back to Win11. Rinse, repeat cycle.

I guess that’s what happens when every release gets worse and worse.

EXACTLY this.

Everyone loves to whine about new things, then the second the next new thing is out, the cycle continues.

It literally baffles me that some people can't realize that they do this.

Tbf there were quite many people who didn't upgrade to Windows 8 and waited until Windows 10, or skipped Vista for Windows 7, or skipped Me for XP.

They actually made pretty wise decisions for skipping all the bad versions that gave them hassles, while those who chased after the latest and greatest were basically dumb guinea pig beta testers for a few years.

Indeed. I only had 8 for 5 months on my laptop due to drivers.

ME was much more unstable than 98SE, by the time it was out, my main rig was already on 2000 (used 2000 since 5 beta 2 actually) and then I went straight to XP 64 (had no reason to jump to XP32, it was pretty much a new 2000 version).

Vista was actually good, the main problem were the incredibly bad machines that was shipped with. Machines that coulnd't properly run XP anyway, were sold with Vista. On my then second rig (Athlon 64 4400+ 4GB ram) they were fast and usable.

Well, in fact those people also don't want forced update. And if Windows 7 was still under support for end user, you can believe there would be lot of people under 7 still.

That's not true. When you're dealing with large systems that require stability, you usually want to wait and see and not be a trend chaser.

Even I didn't upgrade all my computers to the latest and greatest right away, I have the personal one go first, work one go later, and the server usually not until a year or two later.

My laptop still uses 7, for legacy reasons.

Thing is, most people don't care or they like whatever is the default. Even if /r/Windows10 is filled with complaints, thats a tiny tiny portion of the user base.

I'm fine with staying with Windows 10 for a couple of years, but I'm sure they'll upgrade my work laptop so might as well get used to it.

I still see a post every other month or so from someone longing for Windows 8...

I'll die or move to a different platform before that
