Windows 11 is getting a new start menu. EDIT: this replaces the "all apps" page by default, not the home screem (lemmy.zip)

You guys are admonishing Microsoft for investing in good improvements. Your preferences aren’t the issue, it’s your framing of any change as aggressively bad without justification that I take issue with. Other than you not personally using the feature, you have no justification whatsoever for your complaints. It’s just ignorant whining, and it only serves to set back an OS that desperately needs the overhaul. This whole sub seems fucked, it’s not just you.

EDIT: I've given this some thought and arrived at a POV where I may have been too hard on you. Maybe there's a need that speaks to folks like yourselves, who are tech savvy enough that you're on a Lemmy instance but really just want a prototypical Windows experience. To my mind, that's crazy but here we are so I must be wrong on that front. I admit there's nothing inherently wrong with that, it's just annoying you're in the same user base I am - someone who wants Windows to improve finally. Maybe we can agree that Microsoft should just go back to Windows 95 and cater to you guys, and leave modern computing to the professionals.
