What happened to choice?

There's an entire industry dedicated to "improving" things without giving people a choice. It's called politics.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.At least in democracies it's possible to turn the current crop of rascals out. The problem is that the new crop learn "rascaldom" very quickly. Probably via contamination from the walls. :sigh: If while replacing the old crop of rascals we could also simultaneously raze and rebuild all Government buildings (of all branches), we could confirm or refute this theory... :)

Can we accidentally forget to empty the buildings first as an object lesson? :-D

So, having selected the option to not install Win 11 yet and continue with 10, it has been forced upon me. After a power down yesterday, a screen appeared with three options: 1) Decline the free upgrade (which sounded a bit like "now or never" to me) 2) Upgrade now 3) Schedule an update. No options to close or delay, had to choose one. So I went for "schedule an update." This, I think also had just two options: 1) Update now 2) Update a few minutes after reaching your desktop. At this point, there was a mishap and I lost power and when it was returned, hey presto, this had gone and my update page status had changed from Pending Install to the "Your device is compatible, we'll let you know when it's ready..." Today, everything slowed down, checked update page which told me it was installing Win 11. When this had finished, I was one restart away from completion and nothing I could do. So, here we are 2hrs 20 mins later, Win 11 is installed and all the other updates just keep on coming. All seemingly for round corners and a relocated Start button. Can't shift the feeling of being violated by a butt-elephanting from Microsoft.

Makes me sort of happy my old clunker is not compatible!

I believe there should be an option to revert back for the first 10 days or so. They always have in the past I've heard. - [How to get rid of Windows 11 (and roll back to Windows 10) | Computerworld](https://www.computerworld.com/article/3637879/how-to-get-rid-of-windows-11-and-roll-back-to-windows-10.html)

Pour encourager les autres? Well, it would have the salutary effect of reducing the size of Government, but it could catch some productive citizens in the buildings' collapse. On the whole, I'd rather not have them on my conscience. :sigh:

I installed it quite literally on the first day of public release - even now I feel like it was the biggest mistake I've ever made, but I'm sticking with it on my main personal machine, whilst I discretely sit in the corner plugging away on my Mac.

I'm sorry for you. Win 11 doesn't support my chipset, so it isn't a mistake I can make. And your tale (and other's) make me happy about that.
