The revamped Settings control is simply gorgeous. In light of its obvious ability to take ever-expanding setting complexity and not lose any level of computer user in the process, there is no doubt in my mind that the drop-down slide-off non-scalable menu control has no place in future GUIs. Are you listening Visual Studio?

Is there something missing with Windows 10? I wouldn't upgrade if there isn't. Just wait until you have to by a new computer that comes with Windows 11.

More mature WSL - it is important for me

I asked myself the same question the other day and was even ready to do a clean install of Win11 but decided it wasn't worth it. I have yet to hear anything compelling that would make we want to switch. To me, all of the changes are for "regular" users, not "power" users. I suspect I would just find it annoying. So I decided I won't switch until MS decides it's no longer a free upgrade. I realize I'll have to switch sometime but not till they make me.
BTW - I figured I'd do a clean install rather than "upgrading" from Win10. Any opinions on that?

Seems ok, apart from issue with task bars on multiple screens.
And an emails not being sent which appears to be fixed.

MS has link to free Win11 VM images so you can "try" win11 and current dev tools. Its Win11 Enterprise edition.. The trial images I believe are still available and activated for another couple weeks. The had extended the trial period to May.
Actually had a project that used some legacy OLE functionality that required the old Paint which we found was wacky 10 to 11 upgrades and didnt work at all with clean install of 11. That trial image saved us a ton of time testing as well as establish that our dev team was not ready to make the switch just yet.

Since I'm on SSI, not by me unless someone wants to donate a new PC that 11 will work on.

If you're new to the blues, or you like it but never really understood the whys and wherefores, here are some very fundamental rules:
- Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning..."
- "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
- The blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then, find something that rhymes -- sort of:
Got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher and she weigh 500 pound."
- The blues is not about choice. "You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch...ain't no way out."
- Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs, and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
- Teenagers can't sing the blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the blues. In blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
- Blues can take place in New York City, but not in Hawaii or anywhere in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle are probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, and N'awlins are still the best places to have the blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.
- A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg 'cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is.
- You can't have no blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.
- Good places for the Blues:
a. highway,
b. jailhouse,
c. empty bed,
d. bottom of a whiskey glass.
- Bad places for the blues:
a. Nordstrom's,
b. gallery openings,
c. Ivy League institutions,
d. golf courses.
- No one will believe it's the blues if you wear a suit, less you happen to be an old person, and you slept in it.
- Do you have the right to sing the blues?
Yes, if:
a. you're older than dirt,
b. you're blind,
c. you shot a man in Memphis,
d. you can't be satisfied.
No, if:
a. you have all your teeth,
b. you were once blind but now can see,
c. the man in Memphis lived,
d. you have a 401 K or trust fund.
- Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could have. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the Blues.
- If you ask for water and your darlin' gives you gasoline, it's the blues. Other acceptable blues beverages are:
a. cheap wine,
b. whiskey or bourbon,
c. muddy water,
d. black coffee.
The following are NOT Blues beverages:
a. Perrier,
b. Chardonnay,
c. Snapple,
d. Slim Fast.
- If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another blues way to die. So are the electric chair, substance abuse, and dying lonely on a broken-down cot. You can't have a blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
- Some Blues names for women:
a. Sadie,
b. Big Mama,
c. Bessie,
d. Jennie.
- Some Blues names for men:
a. Joe,
b. Willie,
c. Little Willie,
d. Big Willie.
- Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Jennifer, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
- Blues Name Starter Kit:
a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.),
b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Peach, etc.),
c. last name of an earlier US President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.).
For example: Blind Lemon Jefferson, Pegleg Lime Johnson, or Cripple Peach Fillmore, etc.
- I don't care how tragic your life is; if you own a computer /smartphone and are on Facebook, you cannot sing the blues, period.

Not only that, but if you have a dog it needs to be blind in one eye.

Maybe, if they have 3 legs, are blind in one eye, and have been shot in Memphis.

You know what the tombstone of the blues singer said?
"Didn't wake up this morning ..."

|

#19 made me laugh out loud. I might add weirdly spelled names like "Saydee" or "La-a" (pronounced Ladasha, the "-" isn't silent).
Hmmm, I own a computer AND a smart phone, but I'm not on Facebook. Does CP count against me? Oh wait, never mind, I'm from Minneapolis, it's only minor depression.

I used to play the Blues with my band, along with 60s, 70s,80s, and 90's covers.
I liked items 1 through 20 but disagree with 21. I am living (still) proof of that.
I found the music behind the blues to be repetitive, and rarely listened to the words unless I was the one singing them.
12 bar blues were particularly boring after a while, as only the key and the words would change.
BTW we were semi-pro as we got paid most of the time.

For sure. In fact there should be a "I got the Facebook blues" song. Mostly satirical, I think.

When the Lord God had created the man, he said to himself: Yes, it fits.
When he then created the woman, he just said: Well, she just has to put on make-up.

When the man checked out the women, he said to himself: Yes, it fits.

You forgot the third line, where the woman says, "ya, it'll fit," and after looking again at the man, then asks, "but, do you have anything bigger?"
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

part is that their answer was that only the owner of X's Azure can remove me from their account 🤮 and suggested I just spamblock it instead.
