Yeah, this pissed me off. It’s almost never useful, but spanning the whole x-axis on an ultra wide does make less sense.
I hated icon stacking also because I had a wide monitor and didn’t want to have extra clicks.
Ironically, now I have so many things open, the stacking only makes sense when I get ~15 explorer windows open and they’re all displayed as a tall list
Well aside from that, which shouldn’t have been set by default imo, it has more bugs, ridiculous system requirements, requires a ms account even more than before and runs worse.
I guess however bad the versions before it might have been, they at least kind of had a point? 11 is just a shitty reskin to squeeze out those sweet licensing dollars. They didn’t even bother changing the version number in the older releases.
I switched mostly to Linux when windows 8 was released, but I don’t mind 11. It looks quite nice, the start menu is pretty good and normal again compared to the ugly full screen shitshow from windows 8 and the weird hybrid thing from windows 10 and most of that foreign mobile metro crap from windows 8 is gone again or reintegrated into the desktop.
11 is trying its darnedest.
Really? I do not see much difference compared with 10, other than shifted start button.
The silenced cries of the side taskbars…

Having tabs in the explorer is also super nice.
