Why Windows 11 is the "odd dog" poor Microsoft OS (11, 8, Vista, ME)

 I've just upgraded to Windows 11 and regret it for the following reasons:

  1. It has no obvious improvements over 10
  2. Jump lists on Start Menu pinned icons (the ones people use frequently) have gone, either you have to pin all of them to the Taskbar (making pinned icons on the Start menu redundant) or open the app then use the file list, an extra operation.
  3. Taskbar can't be moved to the left hand side of the screen, with a wide screen I prefer to have it there, Microsoft have bizarrely just removed this feature.
  4. Right-click Taskbar brings up very little, certainly no Task Manager I use daily to see what's going on.
