Windows 11 looks like a toy and is trying to act like one too

As always happens when companies get too big or too successful for their own good, and employ too many people looking to justify their own existence Microsoft's products now insult and harass their users. This is the natural evolution of a company. I accept that Microsoft is going to suck. They are just at that point in their lifecycle when they're the drunk uncle that nobody wants at the wedding. All that said, it used to take me two clicks to open a folder with VS Code under Windows 10. Now it takes me 3, because somebody stupid and nevertheless employed thought it would a great idea to hide all of the context menu additions I explicitly installed behind a "show all options" menu. How do I turn off this "feature?"

As I do with anything new from MS I'll delay updating as long as possible. I have tried it on a non work box and I didn't like what I saw.

My observation: as companies approach the size of the government (pick a large one), they achieve the same efficiency.

I delayed it, but then i nuked something on my old install that prevented me from programming raspberry pi picos. At all on my system. Seriously. Zadig installed drivers that then went into limbo and therefore could not be uninstalled and were preventing the proper handshaking when you plugged the boards in via USB. So since i had to do a fresh install anyway I figured I may as well go all the way and upgrade. Saves me doing a fresh install later.

Still remember the ribbon. Just a fancy toolbar, and it is not like the menu has disappeared in the rest of the world. Even see menus used in web pages. And still have that miserable "Modify Style" that uses that miserable Format button at the bottom. Has Microsoft not heard of the tab control. Office applications have had minimal evolution, and Microsoft has not fixed the ability to program office applications. Outlook has changed very little from 1995. What exactly has Microsoft been doing for the last 20 years. Have to say that the Visual Studio team has made enhancements but why did it take so long to get to 64bit? And I understand that SQL server is good also. But I go and use control-F and it does not work the same, and control + and Control - do not work like in the browsers. Guess Microsoft never learns how important UX is and consistency between applications. Microsoft seems to already be very much like IBM.
