I got a new work laptop just before xmas, and since I'll mostly be using it to RDP to my workstation I figured it was time to give Windows 11 a whirl. I'd been holding off primarily due to the taskbar stuff, and was pleasantly surprised that the grouping options were back, and there was an option to move the start button to the left.

A couple of minutes of customizations and it now feels quite familiar. Only thing that slightly annoys me is the icon-only elements in the Windows Explorer context menu for copy/paste.

Back in the days the saying was to never install Windows until the second service pack was released. I guess the same still applies, just without the service pack name.
