Here I was just contemplating installing Windows 11.
Looks like I'll be waiting.

I installed it a while ago, I hated it so much I stopped using my windows partition. It's still there, sometimes it tries to take over my pc and force itself to boot instead of refind. 11 is almost 8 levels of stupid.
I tried it. It hasn't even reached feature parity with Windows 10, and 10 still hasn't reached parity with 7, so that tells you how far behind it is.
Define feature parity, as you could look it in the opposite direction as well as different versions will have features previous versions lack (e.g 11 has an updated version of snap which allows for better window management, and more applications have tabs by default, like notepad and file explorer)
I have to sometimes dual boot into windows 11 and it's pretty meh. Will directstorage be exclusive to win11? Then that might be a reason to keep it around.
