My office is currently forcing us on to Win 11.
Feels bad man.
Does your office have a choice or have they been caught in the permanent obsolescence game? Often one single professional app that provides new versions only for W11 does the trick.
We're a Microsoft shop, so we've been flies caught in the ointment since day one. I wish it was one app. We're all in - Teams, Office, Visual Studio, Outlook, the works.
I'd say I don't really understand the rush, but we were supposed to be live with Win11 last year. I guess in this particular case, my office's dysfunction has worked in my favor.
Lol.
We're also largely a Microsoft shop (Teams, Office, Outlook, Github, etc), but our department uses macOS, mostly because our IT is stubborn about locking down our systems and the easiest way to get an exception is to say we "need" macOS, otherwise we'd probably be on Windows. Honestly, if my company used Windows, I wouldn't be working there, I hate Visual Studio (I use ViM), and my entire workflow just doesn't work on Windows (I use Linux at home). I honestly can't remember the last time I booted Windows.
Maybe there's not much you can do, which sucks. But if your entire team doesn't like Windows 11, perhaps you can look into an exception by saying you need something else. Most Microsoft stuff works fine on macOS, so find some killer feature of macOS that your team totally needs and maybe you can get an exception. That would be a lot easier than convincing them you need to stay on Win10 since WIn10 well stop getting support at some point, so paying for the longer-term support probably isn't worth it for your company.
Hope you enjoy combined tasks in your taskbar...
I think we have 2 deploys Windows 11 machines. I assume the boss had a personal vendetta.
It's better than being stuck on a version of windows that slowly drifts further away from the last security update it recived. I wonder how many companies out there don't pay for support but don't upgrade.
