      main reason:
      recall (it takes a screenshot every time u open a window and u cant turn it off and its always running)
      other possible reasons:
      nobody gon use it
      we, humans, in general, dont really like the idea of AI chatbots

      If you combine what spotlight and the apple menu do it's literally as, if not more, useful than the start menu in Win11 💀
      Microsoft basically just took the Apple menu and moved it to the bottom left instead of the top left in Win95, they're functionally very similar and Mac had it all the way back 40 years ago.

      but that was in Windows 10 and earlier. In Windows 11, the legacy taskbar (the one from Windows 95 onwards) was replaced with a dumbed-down web-based version coded from scratch specifically for Windows 11. That's why it doesn't have all the collective features MS had built up for it over the years and Microsoft will have to re-code some of the features back in all the way through Windows 11's lifecycle. Among the features unavailable are resizing and moving the taskbar, small taskbar icons, ungrouped buttons and titles on taskbar buttons (re-implemented recently in an update) and anything that was inherited from systems of the past, such as taskbar toolbars and adjustable positions of taskbar items. Microsoft really shot themselves in the foot by removing the taskbar in Windows 11. Even more so than when they removed the Start Menu in Windows 8, which by the way nevwr returned in its original glory but a replacement using mobile technology was built from scratch. Just like the taskbar we have now. Well, I suppose they had to draw a line and drop old code eventually. Who knows what they'll "rebuild" in next versions of Windows. The explorer, the desktop, the kernel itself? How many popular features will have to be removed before Microsoft notices they're killing their own software, rotting it from the inside?

    MacOS simply because I use it since 1984…. It wasn't until 6 years later (with Windows 3.0) that Windows really started to resemble MacOS. However what was really impressive on PCs of the time were games like Doom, DOS games, not Windows Applications! So it took another 10 years for Windows to become a full-featured system with games… That's when Apple integrated NeXTSTEP, an OS so advanced that the web was invented on it. Since then, Apple has offered MacOS X which was renamed MacOS in 2015.

    Keyboard shortcuts are custom for the OS. That is such a wonderful and simple necessity. On Windows, there are shortcuts that are designed to get you to accidentally launch an advertisement for Windows 365. For awhile, I kept finding that a web browser would suddenly open and go to a Windows 365 ad and I did not know what I was doing that was causing it, or if it was just doing that on it's own. Eventually I realized that this disaster was bound to a keyboard shortcut. The consumer has no control over it. So you're trying to work, and suddenly you're staring at an ad for Windows 365. It really shows you just how awful a company Microsoft is.

    Auto hide taskbar in windows 11 was annoying. And I’m honestly spoiled by the “dock” thing in mac. Theres something dissatisfying with a really long bar that pops up above windows. I prefer something that the Dock in MacOS which just pops up above windows and you can still see the bottom part of the focused app/s. Especially when tiled (i use window management apps)
    So i used Windhawk to create something like MacOS has but the style is suited for Windows 11. With the Rounded corners that matches Windows 11’s style and not Mac’s. I’ve also made the App icon “section” much larger than the Notification section. In fact I’ve made rhe notification “section” much smaller than the main App icon section. I’ve also disabled the animation pop up because it was so slow unlike in mac. much snappier without the animation. I also use a Window Management app
    I’m also using Flow Launcher that’s similar to Mac’s Spotlight thing. Start menu is beyond slow even when debloated so i just used this “bloat” lol. Very useful whenever i want to open up files and exe files that for some reason doesnt pop up in Star Menu. I’m Waiting for RayCast for windows though.

    I Like The MacOS Rounded Dock, But I Think It's A Space Stealing For A Maximize App (Not Fullscreen). I Can Litterly See The Bottom Of The Wallpaper. I'm Not A Fan Of Using Auto Hide Dock/Taskbar.
    For Windows, My Experience Using It With Maximize Programs It's Almost Perfect.
    But The Dock/Taskbar That I Like Is From Linux KDE Plasma, If You're On Your Desktop It Will Same Like The MacOS. Floating Dock & Rounded Too, But If You Maximize A Program It Will Just Automaticly Shapeshift Like The Windows Taskbar.
    That's The Only Dock/Taskbar Style I Like It.
    For ChromeOS Shelf, It's Just Same As Windows Taskbar, But Rounded For Each Top Corner.
    Also, Changeging The Size & The Taskbar Position On Windows 11 Is Not A Thing Anymore, Unless For Some Tweaking
    In Windows Vista Until 10 It's Still A Feature That Time.

    I use Windows for the same reason that I drive an American car. Because the alternative is too expensive. I love the MacOS operating system. As the years go by, I hate Microsoft more and more. It seems that everything thing they do is incompatible with how I think. But one thing is for sure, they have set up Windows in a way that benefits Microsoft and gives consumers no choice but to go along with it. I have a Windows 10 PC. I will never upgrade it to Windows 11. I played around with it once for a week or so and went back to Windows 10, which I also hate. I do have a Windows 11 laptop. It's less painful since I don't use it much for productivity. This is the end of the line for me. My next PC will be a Mac, no matter the cost. I'm looking forward to not dealing with Microsoft or their software anymore.

    The start menu is a mess on Windows. It's purpose is to cause problems when you're trying to work and using keyboard shortcuts. Suddenly the start menu pops up because you've accidentally touched it instead of the Control key. The alt key serves the same purpose. Accidentally touch it and it jerks you out of your workflow. Terrible concept. The MacOS workflow has no such nonsense like that.
