Opinion: Maybe not, but, with Windows 11, it's getting better all the time I know it makes me go 'Aww' a lot

Could it be worse than what they have rolled out in the first wave?

After experiencing numerous major Windows releases, I've found there's a universal constant: Everyone thinks they suck.
Excepting of course for the folks that recognize that it's just different. There have been relatively few releases that I thought were bad ideas: Windows ME was more marketing shill than functionality, and Windows 8 mis-estimated the target audience.
I'm a fairly early adopter of Windows 11. There are only two things I've found I actively dislike. First is moving the File Explorer right-click menu to a submenu. That's just plain and simple stupid. They could make the changes they did, and then merge the classic submenu contents. The other is not being able to right-click on the task bar to open Task Manager. Both of these just introduce a 'bump' into my habits as a Windows user, and that's the extent of their harm.

I am with you on that..
About the task manager: CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE pops it up. And also right click on the windows menu offers it as an option.

I am not one of "they suck" but more one of the "c'mon guys... really?"
I still use windows and I suppose I will continue using windows for a while, but...
In my opinion the amount of :facepalms: and :do'hs" that Microsoft causes is increasing with time.
But being fair, not only microsoft's are increasing.

Jobs market data collected and analysed by recruitment consultancy Robert Walters and analytics firm Vacancysoft found that more than 12,800 new vacancies for tech professionals were posted by companies in 2021, an increase of 105% compared to 2020. "You never get free, everybody wants you"

read the section that
Quote: the combined value of UK tech companies founded since 2000 stands at an estimated £540 billion. A record figure for sure, but one that still pales in comparison to Apple's gigantic $3 trillion market value.
This make me a bit code smell, as Apple investments most likly are included in the 540 billion, which then is also linked to its 3$ global value, but then maybe apple value removed from the 540, its very unclear, and possible miss informed that Apple has no investment in Europe, which they actually have a significant value.

Scammers are trying to steal job seekers' money and personal information through phishing campaigns using fake advertisements posted on recruitment platforms. I knew that job posting for VP at Microsoft was too good to be true

Not enough with recruiters... now we have to deal with scammers too?

The scammers actually try?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
