Windows 11 is in almost every way (except for the Scarlett Johansson voice) the exact same as Samantha from the 2013 movie "Her".

There is simply no better way for me to express exactly what I mean. It gaslights, assumes, auto-updates, blames the user, and really eventually leaves you in an abused state where you think you need it, just because youre so used to its complications and way of doing things that everything else seems backwards.

See people switching to Linux from Windows who go "I tried installing this program by downloading and running it from AwesomeSoft.co.uk.com.to and it complains libraries are missing! This OS sucks, why isnt there just an installer?".

So, I hope people learn to see that the OS is designed to be abusive, unless you have the entreprise-y versions, and stop praising it. Is there really anyone who is upset that its now no longer nagging you and using bad UX to trick you to upgrade to Windows 11?
