Can we swap?

No need, you can just fly here.

I like the new look of Windows 11.

What I do miss is the ability to right click a program, on the start menu, for a list of recent files.

Having the start button in the center of the taskbar is awesome.

I am pretty against start menu in the middle, having it in a corner is the fastest/easiest to get to with a mouse without requiring precision. Without looking at the screen, try and hit the start menu in 10 and 11 (11 on default center).

The second issue is it's not consistently in one place, it moves based on how many stuff you have open. All your apps shift in position the more apps you have open, so opening apps means you need to click at a new place when swapping between apps, now what happens if e.g. slow app launch or something but you want to keep working, and it launches just as you're about to click to swap to the other app?

Sure, most of us use alt-tab if we are experienced users, but a majority of windows users will never use a shortcut like that in their life.

Then distance of click on start menu to click on pinned apps, W11 further away, etc.

Googling I found: https://pocketnow.com/explaining-windows-11s-bad-design that summarizes it well.

The corruption of Captain Marvel. Apparently this was a storyline between 2019 and 2020.

 

[Nicholas]

I do not think she'll be stepping down.
I'm hoping it was just the interview that was bad and that things improve.

Time will tell
I hope she does a much better job of being a mayor than being an interviewee.

And if I go from my bedroom to my study, the weather report changes considerably

Stardock may be able to help you with that.

I use it.

Charles Dickens vs Havant?

Ja. It's pretty consistent with the location changing from one side of the house to the other.

I like my taskbar like my desktop, with NOTHING on it. Unless it is actually running. The exception being a Firefox and Explorer shortcut.

I do not like to change windows features introduced with new releases.
I change the way I work with it. I've found that the changes are usually better than the way it was.

There is no reasoning with you.

I don't pin the entire content of my computer to the task bar.

There's a bad storm heading north. Floods.

You'd be surprised how some people try.

Close the windows.

Don't spend all your money on Black Friday. Keep some for Cyber Monday.

You know, old age and memory.

My desktop is clean. Who cares how many things you add to the taskbar, nobody sees it.
