It's going to be really interesting to see where this ends up.

I finally left the entire Microsoft ecosystem a few years back after Windows 11 started to become more effort to maintain in terms of an operating system than I was comfortable with. I was an IT manager for 20+ years, and [used to] know Windows like the back of my hand.

Now?

I cringe at the stories I read about 11's further fall from grace.

It comes down to trust, and I simply stopped trusting that Microsoft had my experience and data integrity as a primary factor.

They are making so much money I doubt they care to lose me, but still fascinating to watch.
