Microsoft claims Windows 11 PCs are “up to 2.3x faster” than Windows 10—but that’s just new hardware vs old 🧠

I’ve migrated 100+ clients to Win11. Many older laptops ran fine on Win10 but became nearly unusable after the upgrade.

Let’s hope mass adoption brings enough feedback to fix bugs—not just fuel marketing spin.

Just had a tech support call with client, a long-time Apple fan/user. He asked why I'd jumped ship. I was happy to explain. But it left me wondering, how folk that think of themselves as progressive or remotely leftish justify to themselves staying with #Microsoft, #Google, #Apple, etc.

Have you TRIED any #FreeSoftware or made an effort to explore a phased transition out of the trap you're in? Do you even recognize it as a trap? When was the last time you took a real look at #GNU #Linux
