I don't feel like with Windows 11 in particular "everything works seamlessly." Windows has a lot of technical debt, heck, arguably that's Windows' USP: Backwards compatibility via technical debt. However, Microsoft has had a lot of the originals retire out in the last few years with a huge number during 2020 for obvious reasons; taking a lot of institutional knowledge with them. So what we have now is a bunch of younger engineers at Microsoft who don't REALLY understand why a lot of things within Windows are the way they are, and therefore are afraid to improve core functionality. So we get almost all of Microsoft's efforts go into front end improvement, and gimmicks. Places where people can make a mark without needing to deep dive into the mysteries below. Let's look at Windows 11's timeline: - 21H2/2021 initial release: With a Start Menu/Taskbar that was half-baked and lost tons of functionality. - 22H2/2021: Fixed the Start Menu/Taskbar to what 21H2 should have been. - 23H2/2023: Half-baked "AI" stuff. Touch Gesture improvements. - 24H2/2024: Tries to make the horrible search basically functional (and fails). Windows Recall (privacy issues). HDR backgrounds.
