Confessions of a Windows 11 Doubter

I’ve been irrationally sour on Windows 11 ever since it was leaked then officially announced. I was senselessly angry at Microsoft for “not doing more”, whatever that means. After listening to the last couple of Windows Weekly episodes and reading through Paul’s early impressions, last night I decided to go all in and get back into the Insider’s Program to do some testing. I installed Windows 10 in a VM on my main desktop PC, licensed it with a spare key and then downloaded the Windows 11 bits.

In an earlier forum post I called Windows 11 lipstick on a pig, swearing that I’ll ride Windows 10 out then switch to MacOS. Well, gotta say, this is a sexy pig. I’m in lust so far and can’t wait for the final version. To quote others, “I’m not a maniac” and won’t install it yet outside a VM, but I’m going to try to make the VM my daily driver until it’s time to put it on bare metal.

For the haters/doubters…try putting that all aside for a second and just dive in. I think you might find some corner that’s lust worthy.
