You know I'm starting to see this ESU as a subscription.
I don't think a lot of people decide so consciously as nearly no one installs their OS themselves, but yesterday marked the first time I installed W11 from the scratch on a premium laptop. Official enterprise image, last updates, it's Intel core 7 + 5060 + 32GB ddr5, and as I install stuff I can't launch start menu, it's just does not appear after clicking. Every other browser, installer or program responses as usual, but you just can't press Win and access notepad or whatever. How did they fuck that up so bad? On some dying w10 PCs with a faulty ssd I have the Start menu working weird, but on a fresh machine my client got from the store it's fucking bonkers.
I still remember people calling me a Linux shill when I said the microslop "windows 10 will be the last windows version ever" statement was bullshit in 2015.
