   This is what true enshittification of Windows 11 is, unless you pirate the enterprise version.

   This really shows that we need more competition. Linux is not seen as an alternative given the lack of commercial software support (e.g. lack of Adobe apps, which is used in the creative industry, etc, along with apps that only work on Windows and/or Mac).

   This is why I use a Mac instead of Windows, because I don't like Windows, but I have a laptop that runs Windows to run a few apps that are Windows only. But only having two viable choices isn’t that great, likewise with iOS and Android.

   If only BeOS, OS/2, etc. was still a thing, maybe it wouldn't be this bad.

   Also, Windows 7 was the last “good" Windows OS until it basically turned to crap.

     - Java was supposed to save us as the multiplatform tech
     - Then people started abusing multiplatform engines like Unity
     - Now we're at browser-as-a-platform with Electron at the forefront
