i hate to admit it but, my recent M$ experience has been rather pleasant. Is what i say to YOU, certainly not what i would say to microsoft.
W7 was fantastic. I dont know why they never did a Windows 8.
W10 was also really good. Not as much of a jump between XP and 7, but a very solid OS.
of course, i had to install a whole bunch of aftermarket fixes and software to make it work like *I* want it to. And i would give M$ an earful about all the nonsense they installed in the default build, god knows, X-Bar, Cortana, the microsoft store (say this name in a really whiny voice), but hey, they did do LTSC which essentially it's the enterprise version, and that kept me going until 2 weeks or so ago, where i moved to W11.
Same grief for the first 2/3 days, have to burn some holy incense to ask the gods why on earth, heaven or hell did someone decide that the Start button needs to be in the center of the spacebar.
You know, i am a reasonable guy. But i think the individual responsible should be caught, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be burned at the stake.
Fortunately Windows UI mods are like mods for games on Nexus Mods, you can't turn around without some modder having already fixed the problem before you've actually bought the thing.
If you are willing to untick a whole lot of "disable animations on the desktop" options to make your OS work, then W11 LTSC is probably the best you can get now. Without needing to compile your own MP3 player app.
