Microsoft's problem child, Windows 11, is here. Will you run it? Can you run it? Do you even WANT to run it?

0 excitement

I have a small local only computer bus.

Have mentioned Windows 11 to many customers. Not a single one is interested in trying it. Especially when i tell them how the hardware requirements have changed. Still have 4 years of Windows 10. By then several said they will have switched to a different operating system.

I learned this lessen painfully back in Windows XP days

My advice to my clients for years has been. Never be the first to do Windows updates. Even the monthly Windows Updates. Delay them a few days. Let someone else find the issues Then they are dealt with before we install them. I learned this lessen painfully back in Windows XP days.

Norton Internet Security antivirus update 'borked Internet Explorer'

Symantec must have hired someone from Microsoft to not test updates before they release them. I have started recommending to my customers to wait a couple of days after Windows updates are released before they install them. Not good to be the first to install Windows updates. Let Microsoft fix them first and now the same goes for Norton.
