a1 - in all fairness, Windows 11 was advertised as being necessary for "security" - just more disinformation from Microsoft. Wait, I'm not a journalist so I'll call it an outright lie. Period. The context of this discussion is why is Windows 10 being sunsetted? No other reason than revenue. Windows 7 worked fine, Windows 8 was an abortion.
Meanwhile, do you really want to have a pissing contest about linux vs. microsoft security? Want to stake your paycheck on it? I'm sure there are smart people working at Microsoft. Heck, someone could write their phd thesis on the management involved. That said, we have one group messing with the task bar for no apparent reason. Other changes occur to other products for no apparent reason.
Forcing people to W11 has NOTHING to do with security.
