Remember when they announced native Android app support as a main selling feature for Win 11 and then quietly axed it later? The only thing actually drawing people to Win 11 is them pulling the plug on 10, and even that isn't working that well.

Maybe they should try making a good OS instead of all their other BS.

    They already did those shensnigans to force people from 7 to 10.

    The 7 to 10 migration was pretty standard. MS has typically supported a Windows version through the lifetime of its successor, only stopping support about the time the release after that comes out. XP was supported until 7, Vista was supported until 8, and 8 was supported until 11 came out. By the usual pattern, 10 should have been supported until 12 came out, not two years after support for 8 was dropped.

    I was so excited about that, because running some Android apps natively on my Desktop PC would've been amazing. But it never really worked well, installing the PlayStore was not officially supported (and painful) and then it got canned.

    The only "good" thing that improved with Windows 11 was WSL, and as soon as I found an employer that allowed me to use a native Linux machine I ran away from the Windows dumpsterfire as fast as I could.
