If this comment were to even go through, I have felt the same way, sorry I am five years into the future. I have had computers my entire lifeline and I enjoy working with designing 2D games. I feel I am ready to design 3D games. I have used every NT Operating System from 95 to Windows 11, I find it fascinating.

Imagine your cab getting stuck and after ~20 minutes of suspiciously loud AC noise, you hear "Hi, I'm Cortana. Your files are exactly where you left them. Now, let's connect you to a network".
Is that 21st century enough for you, or do we have to bring out the cripple (Windows 11)?
