The Windows 11 taskbar is an annoying step backward

I understand that OSs are really complicated. I've been exposed to every one now for almost four decades.

What's dismaying is that in that four decades it's now just regression. I admittedly have used MacOS for a couple of decades -- simple and it works well enough, but always run Windows as a secondary OS and Linux "as needed".

Windows has gotten so ersatz and bizarro that it's just strange to me when I do use it every few days.

Windows 2000 / Windows 98 had it down. It wasn't fancy, logical, and it worked. It's been a confusing mess since Windows 7.

Windows 7 was probably the best it's been for a long time.

But you're right, they completely screwed up the control panel. If not for that then it would've been the new pinnacle (let us never discuss Vista).
