Dear Microsoft, you've gone astray. Please:<p>1) Disable ALL telemetry by default unless user explicitely opts in.<p>2) Let me use it without a cloud account (required on Home version).<p>3) Set out hardware prerequisites based on technical capabilities, not policy doctrine. I shouldn't need hacky workarounds to install without UEFI Secure Boot & CPU-embedded TPM 2.0, and I don't appreciate the threats about doing so.<p>4) Quit with the stupid naming WTF Windows 11 R2D2.<p>5) Restore absolute control to me as to when you may apply updates and break my computer.<p>6) Stop hiding the useful controls (e.g. network adapter IP address) under increasing layers of intermediary screens.<p>6) Cut the bloat. Focus on delivering a solid kernel that doesn't crash, performance improvements (your work is not done until my PC cold starts as quickly as my car), and intuitive tools to maintain and troubleshoot my system and applications.<p>Do all this and I'll happily consider giving up Windows 7 and returning to the fold.
The point of Windows 8 was to make Windows suitable for mobile devices; the point of Windows 10 was to make a step or two back. The point of Windows 11 is beyond me.
