I don't want Windows 11!

Microsoft doesn't get it. They've convinced themselves that people are actually dumb enough to pay annually for a piece of software they could use for a decade. They make arbitrary and stupid changes without listening to the customers (How'd that Office Ribbon work out for you? How about that start menu removal?) and then they wonder why they're one of the most hated companies in the world.

Read my f*ing lips, Microsoft: I. Do. Not. Want. Windows. Eleven. End statement. This isn't a discussion. It's me telling you what software I will tolerate on MY $1400 laptop.

Stop asking. Stop changing around my shutdown buttons so my choices are "Update and shut down" or "Update and restart." Quit acting like a g*dd*amn con artist trying to slick your way into my life.

If your product wasn't made of suck I'd have upgraded already, but every update I've done going back to Windows XP SP 2 has bricked at least ONE of my computers.

I. Do. Not. Want. Windows. 11.

Keep trying to force it on me and I'll upgrade... To Linux.

As lovely as Windows looks I left Windows in 2019 permanently because of these main reasons.

1. Security: With every fresh install of Windows 7/8/10 malware was installed within 1 hour of installation without even accessing it. I just logged in and let it ride. After 3 years of this I gave up Windows all versions. 17 years using Windows just made me more and more angry. Backdoor anger maker...

2. Simplicity: One. day it's this, the next day it's that...

3. Apps: Did they ever function properly or correctly?

4. Back to Security: Too easy to manipulate. That's why Linux will always be better but, Linux is also corruptible.

5. After having Mac for 4 years I'm finally done with Tech. 90% of Humans don't even need it. Life is more pure without any Tech but you won't be taking my word for it will ya. You must be in touch with everyone... Why? In truth there is no answer to that question.
