     10 was already bad enough, but of course they made it worse. It was bad primarily because of the things that they added to the end, because the actual installation was basically the same as Windows 7. Still, the end of the Windows 10 installation should be enough for someone to think "I'm not gonna use that shit" and remove it and install something else instead.
     
     The sheer number of spyware crap that you can "disable" (yeah, right) is unbelievable, it's multiple pages full of nothing but that. I assume 11 removed that, though, because I bet that they don't even give you the option to "disable" 80 different things just to have a computing experience that at least pretends to be a bit acceptable maybe.
     
     Windows 11, on the other hand, sounds uninstallable for anyone with any amount of self-respect. Maybe if you're paid to do it, but it better be fucking well. I would not do it even then, unless there is a pirated version that cuts all of that crap out.

     I never met a person, who said 11 was good. All it did was make your computer slower for what? For rounded edges of windows and more freedom taken away.

     "rounded edges of windows"
     Wait, you just made me realize... on Windows 11, they replaced every program, including the entire UI, with Edge, but they also removed the edges from the windows. https://social.076.moe/url/89426

     Will Micro$oft, like in the 90s, be sued for integrating their browser into the OS?

     Don't forget your Starbucks coffee and 1000s of JS frameworks from NPM you'll puzzle together in a span of 2 years or more.

     No, but it wouldn't matter anyway, just like it didn't then. They just paid a fine (that I'm sure the judge or some politician enjoyed), and kept doing what got them sued in the first place, with no consequences at all.

     I remember they added a "browser choice" screen for 5 years following an anti-trust case.
     Not sure how successful it was breaking the already collapsing IE monopoly (and enable the already raising Chrome monopoly) though...

     I'm pretty sure that in actual America, where the lawsuit happened (?), they didn't change anything at all. Anyway, here is a fun thing about the history of Internet Explorer, because I like shilling websites that I found on Wiby and really liked:
