It's crazy how slow Windows 11 is on modern hardware. Even on a modern CPU, with 16gb ram, it takes serious time to load things. Very sluggish compared to a Macbook Air of a similar price point. I can't imagine that big a difference is due to hardware differences. The M2 is fast, but Intel 12th gen isn't much slower just more power hungry. That means it's a software issue. Which is sad considering how good the NT lineage of kernels was, they have been making a worse and worse OS around it. They have themselves to blame for dropping from nearly 100% desktop marketshare to around 60% now. Only time until they're going the AOL or Yahoo way...
