  • Ads all over the place (and a start menu full of crapware)
  • Telemetry you can't completely turn off anymore (the only thing I'd respect is a license check)
  • Constantly putting edge back
  • Forced MS account and removing ways to bypass it
  • Cloud upsells
  • Forced updates "do this within the next 2 days or else..."
  • "Copilot copilot copilot"

    -we heard you like search bars so we added a search bar next to the menu containing a search bar.

    -open wide because here comes the unwanted update train.

    -you want to do thing with file?

    No, bad user. Play candycrush instead.

    -that’s an impressive machine you have there. Would be too bad if someone were to slow it down with tons of bloat.

    -Telemetry? At good ol MS? Never.

    -oh but all the W10 menus you love are still there, it just takes a rainforest expedition to get there.

    -Just buy a one drive subscription and walk away.

    So, to really be sure i get it: adding two search bars is an underhanded backstab?

    Now I see why I didn't get it, the definition being used is literally insane.

    Please make sure all your drivers are up to date and your screen is set to the correct resolution because it seems to be that you’re missing the bigger picture.

    “Underhanded backstab” being the correct expression or not aside=> W11 sucks ass imo, get mad if you want to. (Something tells me this isn’t about proper word choice for you though, but feel free to correct me on that if that is a thing you care about)

    I mean your point may have been windows sucks ass but I'm aware of where I am and that's a completely uninteresting claim here. Why not rant about water being wet -- it's just as unique or interesting as your take on windows.

    What I specifically asked about is underhanded backstabs, because that's a unique and interesting claim I haven't read 464335735 times before on lemmy.

    Well, you’ll have to ask the person making that claim to begin with. I just added my take on the list of annoyances about W11.

    I find your interest in the expression itself rather uninteresting. I do hope it goes without saying people say these things without meaning them literally.

    All in all the step from W10 to W11 is such a letdown one might compare it to a backstab, underhanded or otherwise.

    And with that I’m done defending an expression I didn’t use to begin with. Good day.
