Another reason to hate Windows 11 (and Microsoft)

[pcalvert]

Since I was planning to make the switch to Windows 11 in the near future, I was really hoping that Microsoft would give me some good reasons to like Windows 11. Unfortunately, instead they have given me a very good reason to hate Windows 11.

For a good understanding of what I am referring to, I recommend watching this video:

CoPilot+ PCs, Windows Recall, Keylogging Privacy Invasions!

 

Here's a short description from the above web page:

"Microsoft made some recent changes to Windows 11
which abuses privacy in multiple ways. But
remember that Microsoft is not alone. The move to
break our privacy with AI is something the
competition started with first. Now they're
playing catch up but doing so in the most
aggressive way with the help of OpenAI."

You, maybe, all others will bend to it. A couple years from now, when all browsers will quit working on 10, you will, too.

Especially if we assume you already wanted to.

There is probably a professional Enterprise or Server version of Windows without that Copilot stuff. But we got a long time before Windows 11 is needed.

Windows XP: "My Computer" (100% sure it's mine)
Windows Vista: "Computer" (just "a" pc  but is not clear who is the owner)
Windows 8.1: "This PC" (just "this" pc... but...it is mine?)
Windows 10: "MS Computer" ( oh oh)
Windows 11: "MS Service" (is not your pc anymore since you can't control windows update or what's happening in the background... )

Copilot has been failing miserably as well, too.

Microsoft wants to rename it to Windows AI / Intelligence, and business companies aren't really finding it that interesting. Plus, most OEMs are just opting for Google's AI. Microsoft has failed (once again!) to get into the AI / Assistant space. I expect Copilot to eventually go the way of Cortana at some point.

I didn't like the my prefix "My" prefix. Imagine you are instructing another person to do something, and tell him to "open my computer" or my documents (not yours but his). There are still some sybolic links to "My" folders on Windows 2008 R2.

I always rename the my computer to something descriptive according to a brand of the computer itself or its owner or its curent role.

I don't get why they introduced the term "This PC". Maybe Computer seemed to general. These days computers increasingly ofter are called "devices". I don't think it is called MS Computer anywhere.

Windows XP works like Young girl(18-23), but without makeup.
Windows 11 works like old lady (80-90), It is looks like young women, who got so much makeup to show up.
Microsoft got so much headweight because of the less competitor for them. If some one create an OS that support to run any windows programs without any issue, Microsoft fall apart.
