Windows biggest problem is that they want to be Apple and simply want to make your computer stupid and impossible to tailor to your specific needs. They are constantly trying remove features or hide them as deep inside the operating system as possible.
Every time they create a new version, instead of expanding the operating system, they first go through and trim out dozens if not hundreds of features many people want to have access to. Then over the next couple years, they add them back, reluctantly and slowly.
I tried Windows 11 when it first came out, and it was unusable, because many features I was used to using were hidden and I had no idea where to find them., and it had bugs and a lack of driver support.
I recently was forced to upgrade my work laptop to windows 11 a couple months ago, and fortunately, most of the stuff I am used to having access to has been put back into the UI. Now upgrading a windows 10 computer to windows 11 is nearly transparent. I even upgraded my primary gaming computer after seeing how well Windows 11 had finally been fleshed out. For work I use a Windows 11 laptop to Remote into a Windows 10 workstation that will not be updated to Windows 11 for a couple years yet due to incompatibilities with my CAD software. There literally is no significant difference. The task bar has things centered, but even that can be changed to have it moved back to the left side. To be honest, I hate the centered task bar, as every time you open a new program things shift location on the task bar. But it is a trivial issue.
If Windows wants its users to upgrade to the newest operating system, instead of degrading what already exists, they need to roll out the new Windows with all the old features accessible, with the new features featured but ignorable. People will switch over if it is not a massive hit on their enjoyment or productivity, and the new features will get incorporated into their daily routines. If the new features are meant to replace old features, if Microsoft leaves the ability to hide features we do not want anymore and highlight new ones we want to use often, we the community can decide what is best for our uses.
We do not need to have your bad ideas force fed down our throats in other words. If we are the customer, and time after time after time the vast majority of do not want instant changes to how we work forced on us, then as the business, give us what we want. Stability with incremental advancements that we can accept on our own time!
