I’ll say it outright - metro was good but was delivered poorly. I liked full screen start as an option on my tablet, and it also worked great once you configured it well on the desktop. The problem, as I said, was delivery - it was only nice out of the box for touchscreens.
I kept full screen start on my desktop at 8.1 because it was such a great workflow (once I reworked the hell out of it to logical groups for all the esoteric manufacturers specific software I needed).
11 is just a shit show though. And teams. And shoving copilot into absolutely everything.
MS always does what you expect though - continues to make things worse to use. They’ve been doing it for decades now, they are great at it!
I’m stuck with windows for my work laptop.
