[dba-Tech] Windows 11

[John Colby]

It's not like they are adding useful stuff.  I just paid for two licenses
to a third party cache author.  It makes my SSD 4x faster.  Smokin.

But MS puts stupid stuff in it and calls it a day.  I am not upgrading.  I
stayed with Win 7 until Windows 8 went away and Windows 10 because stable.
Windows 10 was a big upgrade to 7.  It was smaller, faster and more secure.

What is Windows 11?  Teams on the task bar.  OOOOoooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
