Of course it does.
I told you so years ago.

Pffft. It's because Windows 7 is not going anywhere and they want to sell games.

If they did listen to feedback, they'd be working on Windows 11 already, cleaning up the bloated Windows 10 and making the next best OS we could all upgrade to.
But they don't. They want control, so they are pushing Windows 10 as if anyone actually needed it... |

Windows 11 will be even more bloated than win 10 is. They dont care about your voice or mine, they care about new user, the facebook user, that has messages up right and chat down right, retarded content in the middle. That's what they will provide - Winbook Instakilogram edition |
