Microsoft knows they have 85+% of the consumer desktop/laptop market in the bag, and they're looking to build up an ad business through this telemetry. Enterprise users are a captive audience - pay through the nose with year over year price hikes, or good luck with Linux. Microsoft's position is increasingly take it or leave it. When Microsoft lets Panos Panay ('head' of Windows) run these insane UI / UX experiments and foists it on Enterprise users via Windows 11/12, Microsoft is playing with fire. It's ridiculous to ask front line workers relearn tasks because some designer at Microsoft had too much caffeine and in a manic state decided to design some insane UX regression in Windows 11. I would pay extra (more than a Windows 11 Pro license) to have a stripped down, Windows 2000 / NT Microsoft supported theme (I'm not installing UI/UX customizations from Stardock, sorry) that runs on the latest Windows kernel. Other Enterprises want the same thing - UI / UX stability, running on the current Windows kernel.
