by the time Windows 11 rolled around it was full-featured enough to serve as a complete Control Panel replacement most of the time, with a handful of exceptions made for especially obscure changes

TIL managing Outlook profiles is obscure

I cannot imagine using Windows ever again. I don’t know why anyone still wants to use it. It’s like using Windows is a disability now, to be pitied.

  Switched to linux on my private devices but need to use windows at work (domain admin). I wish microsoft would just go away.

    Yeah I mean if you’re stuck with it at work that is out of your control. A domain controller is I guess not the worst thing in the world if the organization relies on its services. But damn.
