These days, I only get annoyed when I need to tweak or completely overhaul my workflows. Used to be I enjoyed fiddling with new options on new gadgets (I am including windows versions in that category). Either someone is getting lot of brown envelops under the table to close their eyes on this, or there is rampant stupidity in place. How is that Microsoft doesn't get hit with another Antitrust or others annoyance like Apple is, is beyond my understanding. now Microsoft is trying to do the exact same thing but even worst.
People that don't like nor use Apple often complain how Apple is not respecting their freedom of choice and force them to have an "AppleID Account", use that "Apple Store" and have it the "Apple Way or the Highway". And I am not even mentioning the whole lame Azure AD made to replace your "on-premise" IT dept by some offshore barely english speaking, microsoft "salemen/flowcharts" experts that constantly ask you to wait until an "engineer" come to save the days, several weeks later during business critical time. It is even worst when they "force" you to link up your computer and require you to have a Microsoft Account, which most people in the professional world doesn't want or need. Ofc i lay the blame for this 50/50 on Microsoft for the dark pattern, and on the previous IT staff for letting everyone be admins, but having someone to blame doesn't make my job any easier.
Users don't know what any of this is, they only know they're in a hurry to get to work, so they just click on the whatever, and bam, next thing you know half the damn site is running Win 11 without have any fucking clue what happened. if you're running as an admin, at some point following your login but before you get to your desktop Win10 will do that fake OOBE thing where previously they tried to get you to turn on all the telemetry again, only this time it's a prompt to upgrade to Win 11 with a big friendly button to do so in the lower right, and a small low-contrast text link to decline in the lower left. of course none of the users even knew wtf Windows 11 was. i took over a site from a previous outfit that let every user run as admin and discovered in the site survey that about half the machines were already running 11.
