Comment on New Surface products, built for Windows 11parent

Comments

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Microsoft seems to almost be doing the missteps in a pattern/on purpose.

Win95 vs Win98/ME/etc (? not sure)

WinXP vs Vista

Win7 vs Win8

Win10 vs Win11?

It's like the Intel's tick-tock model almost. On some level I do think that bashing this is a bit hypocritical when most of us nerds are also the first ones to bemoan a lack of innovation.

It's a two iteration learning process, and this time they need to learn people don't want ads and telemetry. Windows 12 will be privacy first.

It's more

95/98 -> 98SE

ME -> 2000/XP

Vista -> 7

8 -> 8.1

Can't say about 10 as the version numbers are harder to track

Thanks, I knew I was getting most of them wrong, haven't touched Windows in years, memory is very hazy
