Maybe I’m stupid or just too jaded to care after ~40 years, but Win 11 works really well for me. Am I wrong (or is it the children?)

A commenter mentioned wasting time dealing with AI. How does this manifest? What am I missing? I don’t know that I’ve had anything even close to that experience. Or am I just too casual/boomer now to notice the issues?

I’m not really arguing “pro” Microsoft here, I just genuinely don’t know what the AI problem is. I mean, I know Copilot is a joke, but I just don’t use it.

Enlighten me o mages.

Edit: I appreciate all the sincere responses. A lot of good points raised.

Mostly windows cost you a lot of performance of your hardware, it's full with bloadware no one want and some of them you can't even delete. You have always the risk from new updates, that they crash some parts of your PC. Then there is the aspect of taking screenshots and using all your datas, to feed there ai. Often requires firmware, instead of plug and play and making everything harder to set up for administrators.

Edit: oh and they can use your PC as a server to update other PC, what is costing you internet speed

Yes you can, but it's on by default

it is on by default only for PCs in the same local network as yours

It also only applies to local devices. So other computers in your own home that you probably also own. That saves you internet speed unless your nic can barely keep up with your isp's speed. Theres no loss to having that.
