I wonder if people have tried the most recent W11 updates. It feels like a polished release candidate, and some in my inner circle also running W11 will say the same.
No, more like what the parent said. People hated visa with passion but I had been running its beta as my main driver for 6 months before it was released. Imagine that, Windows Vista beta.
The only advantage I had over the majority is that it was a brand new computer (with 2GB of RAM, wow) so I did not experience slowdowns.
Vista was better than XP in every way except performance on the low-end.
Windows 8 was an exciting change from Microsoft, but yeah some things weren't fixed until 8.1 and the damage was done.
People don't like clearly unfinished products rushed to market before they're ready.
