"Now they changed the wallapper to being a daily image"

Also Microsoft: *Showing the same Nusa Penida Island (Bali, Indonesia) for the 100th times* 😂😂😂

Windows 12: the entire OS is now a web app

[Reaper]

Really like the new context menu. I didn't have a problem with just the icons, but I knew many older people who were totally lost when it switched to Windows 11. This is a nice looking return to function.

We don't need eye candy (GUI effects, applets ecc). We don't want telemetry, advertisement, third party software. We don't want cloud services such as XBox, OneDrive, Microsoft Account as installation mandatory. We don't want Office 365 pre-installed. We don't want an OS consuming more than 1GiB of RAM. WE WANT THE BASIC, CLEAN AND FAST OS EXPERIENCE.

I'll take that "Duplicate Tab" action in File Explorer, thank you. :)

[hs]

Adding labels to the cut / copy / paste icons within context menus is the best change!! Cannot wait for this to be rolled out!

[mugsNshirts]

small taskbar is still nowhere to be found

[jnee]

Now that the quick settings panel has pages I hope one day we can create quick toggles for specific Bluetooth devices and audio devices

[govindkrishnalb]

The common actions menu actually appears top or bottom according to the mouse pointer, it changes dynamically.

[kristianzapater]

I just want the option of choosing a small taskbar like we had in Windows 10, Microsoft...just bring it back! PLEASE!!

[griffin]

I tune in to these so I know what's new to turn off :~)

[NiXTheDev]

Wow, the phone link app is now actually worth using, thanks Microsoft, it only took you 3 years to make it so

[anshulsingh]

Whole windows 11 is half baked like my cake I baked yesterday

[Stealthbat]

I am stupid glad for the changes to Windows Copilot. I had to completely disable the feature entirely in my Windows 11 Pro install because, for whatever reason, and don't ask me why because I haven't a clue, just having the Copilot feature enabled, running/active or not, was enough to prevent Microsoft Edge from closing properly and was keeping it running in the background despite the proper settings being used to prevent this. But completely disabling Copilot was the only thing that fixed it. So, I for one am very happy for this change.

Windows 2000 was the last real Windows operating system....now they are just a data collection software

[user.netizen]

I literally cannot stand the sight of thick taskbar and start menu covering the whole background. That's my biggest pet peeve.

[MirelRC]

17:50 an important feature... Me looking at the Enhance pointer precision...

[MrAlroyNdhlovu]

I've been using Mac for just over 2 years now after a lifetime on Windows. Tuned in to see if there was any innovation or anything that would make me miss Windows. Nothing yet.

[MarcoACto]

Why does almost every new feature seems half-assed?

[alexswak]

The new outlook app is horrible and the old mail app was one of the few good Microsoft software that I used on a daily basis, but of course Microsoft can't let you have that.
