  1. Usually, it was every other version that sucked big-time. This was mostly due to Microsquish trying to adhere to a release schedule whether the product was ready or not. Windows 3 stunk, but Windows 3.1 was MUCH better. We were told that Windows 10 would be the last iteration, but when have we ever believed what they say anyway? In the old days, we would always upgrade because there were features we've always wanted (packed with hundreds of additional features that we didn't need). Now, I can't think of anything Windows 11 would give me that I don't already have except more headaches trying to get it to do what I want and/or waiting for the inevitable bug fixes. When I was doing the IT consulting, we had to make several clients unhappy by telling them they HAD to upgrade all their Windows 7 machines (which were all working just fine) to Windows 10 because MS had declared Windows 7 to be at End of Life. They weren't happy and that was only a couple of years ago back when they still had clients. Now that most have lost the bulk of their customers thanks to the global BS going on, I can't imagine any of them wanting to waste money on an upgrade that appears to have nothing new and improved. For me, I always move the taskbar on all smaller screens, like my laptops, to the side so I can have more vertical screen real estate.
