- Win 11 sucks
- Win 10 is still supported for another year
Win10 sucks but Win11 manages to suck harder. And neither in the good way.
As someone who uses Win 11, I can confirm that it sucks.
Win 10 LTS is a 10 year license, Win 11 LTS 5 years. There’s your answer.
Damn. Bastards.
Tells us all we need to know though.
LTSC costs, wish I could convince more clients to spend the money. A 10 year license!
How much more expensive is the 11 licences, too?
Unfortunately I don’t know, I only heard about the support duration from one of our systems IT guys. Even if it isn’t more expensive (or even if it’s cheaper) companies will prefer the longer license because IT staff migrating these machines costs a lot of money (and sometimes the migration isn’t without problems which costs even more) so they try to minimize the frequeny of migrations as much as possible.
Ive been out of touch with that stuff for awhile, which why I asked. Just the shorter duration is ridiculous, I’m assuming that’s the tip of the iceberg.
Because there’s no discernable benefits. Few applications, if any, require Windows 11. The average desk worker gets new-software-paralysis any time there’s an interface change. Windows 10 is still viable and receiving updates.
The better question is: Why would companies switch?
Windows 11 went full mask off on how bad Windows really is, why would anyone use it? No one wants adware, ransomware, or spyware on their pc, let alone have it baked in.
^ this is the answer I was about to give
Wtf? None of my systems can be upgraded. Win11 is a huge artificial hardware upgrade push with bullshit minimum requirements that prevent an install from even occurring. Not that I feel like I’m missing out. It is a shitshow of an OS.
I’m not upgrading because I don’t trust Windows 11. Not that 10 has my confidence, of course, but 11 seems worse.
“Almost all” then “many” then “the majority”. Does this hack know those things aren’t synonyms? 🙄
My Win 10 laptop wouldn’t install Win 11, so I upgraded to Linux. Hoping there’s many more like me.
Does anyone else remember when Microsoft claimed windows 10 would be the last windows? Probably more than half the applications I use for work do not work properly on a machine running windows 11. We know this because we tried. A controlled rollout ended in a roll back to windows 10 for the company I work for. It’s not that difficult to understand. Something about weird aspect ratios in our legacy software (that we are required to use) making drop downs and clickable buttons completely unviewable. We were able to use windows 8 compatibility mode on our windows 10 computers but that doesn’t fix the problem on windows 11. The company that created that software isn’t doing more than bug fixes and security updates for it and so this problem will never be rectified. That’s why.
well it definitely was my last Windows 8 years ago
Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…
Funny that it also works like it was made by mostly IT illiterate folk.
Not sure how exactly this survey was conducted, here at the small business I work at only about 2% of the desktops/laptops are Win 11 compatible. And being a small business the owner isn’t interested in spending the $$ on new systems until absolutely necessary.
But that’s on the small business side, maybe this article is only talking about fortune 500 companies? Their results seem a bit odd to me otherwise.
Yeah, I’ve got a few thousand PCs at work (not all mine) and we’re maybe 70% compatible. I’ve been doing a lot of reprioritizing upgrades to get those ones done before daddy IT security compliance starts looking critically at us.
Our point of sale software doesn’t work with it. So they blocked the update until it does.
I read this article title as “Top 11 ways to get your entire IT department to ragequit”.
No idea. Our company went full Win 11 since almost all of our systems are browser based and everyone is on modern laptops. I don’t really have an issue with Win 11 itself over Win 10. Outlook being buggy is honestly more annoying day to day.
That said, if IT would let me use a MacBook I’d switch instantly. It’s inexcusable to have to wait 10 seconds or more for my laptop to wake up in 2024. WTH Microsoft.
Until last year they made the task bar for the computer illiterate (ie Mac/gnome users). Thankfully they fixed that.
