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.

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.

Win 10 LTS is a 10 year license, Win 11 LTS 5 years. There’s your answer.

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.

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!

According to the official Microsoft website, the Windows 11 LSTC version still gives a 10-year license.

I’m not upgrading because I don’t trust Windows 11. Not that 10 has my confidence, of course, but 11 seems worse.
