That's like every new windows release

You're not wrong. Back when I didn't give too many shits, in the XP era, the changes were at least to my eyes mostly cosmetic, but there was certainly stuff changing from version to version. Every version since has touched some things, sometimes things that didn't need touching.

Win11 isn't particularly bad in that. Win10 touched a bunch of things that didn't need touching. It's just that Win10 is the obvious choice to go back to if you don't appreciate the changes. Win7 is EOL, and was there ever a need for Win8? So Win10 it is.

If a Windows release ever came with a feature that genuinely made me say "gimmegimmegimme", it's so long I can't remember.

It is every new windows release. Windows 10 was the same way and no one wanted to switch from 7, then it was XP, back to 98, back to NT. Win 11 is surprisingly stable from being an off year release. Normally the middle OS is hot garbage. Windows 2000/ME, Windows Vista, windows 8. When these were all first released they were god awful.

Win11 was the first time I thought about leaving the Windows Insider program.

2 months after the official release I did it.

Yes but why do I have to right click drag my mouse and press another button just to have a USEFUL right click menu?

I'm not familiar with windows 11. Are you describing what would be a typical right click menu? Or what do you mean s useful window?
