It’s almost like nobody wants to use your shitty OS or something. My work computer at the office has Windows 11 and I fucking hate it so much. From big stuff like Copilot and Microsoft Edge getting shoved down my throat, to small stuff like needing to change the registry to get a right click menu that isn’t dumbed down. And don’t even get me started on Office 365 or whatever the fuck it’s called that goes through a browser. There was no Internet at the office on Monday so I literally couldn’t do my job. Not to mention I can’t export an Excel sheet into all the different formats I need to.

I have no idea what direction they think they are going, but if it’s productivity they are doing a terrible job.
