I can't stand the lack of taskbar-labels in Windows 11... and I refuse to 
install some buggy halfassed shareware crap to "fix it". I often have many 
windows open at once on a workstation with six monitors. Breaking the taskbar
functionality was unacceptable.

I actually thought XP and Server 2003 were the "best" that M$ was ever to 
crank out. Everything beyond that just got to be eye-candy or trying to do 
everything except act like an OS. Windows 10 talks to me as if we're friends
and it wants to do things on its terms, not mine. Candy Crush and Xbox on the 
start menu of a professional-grade OS put an end to my love for windows.

I'm not a gamer... well, more of a retro-gamer if and when I have the time and
thats either MS-DOS games or my old NES and Genesis consoles. I bought one 
of those new multi-carts for both that have a rediculous amount of memory and
pretty much every game in existance for them.
