The actual reason Windows 11 failed

[D.Draker]

Oh, I forgot to answer to the main question, The actual reason Windows 11 had failed is because @D.Draker purchased zero licences, whereas with Vista he bought dozens and dozens, maybe hundreds.

Literally every PC I bought had Vista, and if we count the numerous gifts I made during that times, countless girlfriends were gifted with Vista computers, even my mother and father!

Dig deeper.  Windows 2000 "collected basic system information for diagnostic and security purposes".  By definition, that "collection" is a form of 'spying' (by today's standards if not by then-standards).

You know what, you're absoluteness right! Despite being on Millennium for a long time, I paid very little attention to the primitive operating systems before Vista, those were designed for office slaves to serve as a calculator.

Son, we have different priorities in life, it's very obvious. For me, life is all about fun and entertainment, so I chose the only one really high quality media capable OS - Vista.

Windows 7/8 took a huge step back in the quality, and Windows 11 is the icon of primitivism.

You mean Alexa, not relevant 'cause I always used Opera. And I skipped XP. (used only a brief time), and it was a terrible experience, similar to 11.

But my grandmother, born in the very beginning of the 20th century, liked it. 1912-1913 smth, I don''t already remember.

I wonder what would she tell about 11!?!??!

yeah but like XP you had to agree to it (might be wrong about 2k can't remember much of it)
office also spyed on you but again only if you "agreed" to it for their "improvement program" (or whatever it was called back then)
