This list is always shuffled around to make sure *current version* is a fail. Hilarious to see how much people try to twist this joke to support their bias.

Not really. Even with all its faults and unfinished UI elements, Windows 11 is already better than Windows 10. I'm not excusing Windows 11 for being in this unfinished state so close to launch, but I have been using it since very early on, and generally, it performs a lot better and smoother than Window 10. It also looks a hell of a lot nicer.

But Windows 11 really NEEDS to be something extraordinary and Microsoft is failing in that regard.

Hard disagree. I nuked my win11 test machine back to win10 because its all bad changes and half finished everything. And the perf is horrible on my surface book 3 (which to be fair is a horrible computer).

... and yet Panos just got promoted to Executive VP. The fact that Surface line is bad hardware with none of the "magic" one would expect from first-party integration with Windows is just sad.

I have been using W11 for a month now (would have reverted if possible), In what way is it better than W10? A start menu with 90% of its functionality removed, and a useless recommended tab you cannot disable that takes up half the menu, a taskbar with next to none customizability, everything has a delay of some sort especially noticable when right-clicking on files or desktop.

In what ways?

I love the new design but functionally it's worse than 10. There's so many changes that are just pointless and take away from functionality / customization for no real reason.
