WINDOWS 8 < WINDOWS 11 (PREMIUM)

How crazy is our world? A user experience lead from Windows 8 actually thought
it was OK to publicly criticize the Windows 11 user experience. That’s
ridiculous: we’re still living with the damage caused by that revolting
disaster, and while the issues with the Windows 11 user experience are real,
they pale in comparison to Windows 8.

And boy. Do I not want to discuss this.
