They collect your "usage patterns and clicks" do determine when you spend money. So for example: "clicked on something, saw and advertisement, bought something". They can then throw the same advertisement at different user , who falls in same category and make money. It's "target advertising" at targeted user category based on "usage".
I also use the classic theme that I like, it works well and I'm using server 2022 converted to workstation, it's very fast, have you used server 2022 configured for desktop?
I was unable to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro on my old i7-4770K due to a lack of TPM support but I bought a new i5-13600KF PC with Windows 11 Pro mid-December and, so far, I am really liking it, especially the slicker design (although it is inconsistent and still has remnants of older Windows design unfortunately) and the File Explorer tabs (why has it taken so long to add these???). It also feels slick and responsive but that might be mostly down to having double the memory (32 GB vs. 16 GB) and a faster CPU rather than Windows itself! The only thing I don't like about Windows 11 is the right-click menu where you have to click on View More Options (or whatever it is called) to see the full menu. Also, when you do the design of the menu goes back to the old Windows 10 style and font which is jarring. Where is the consistency in the design? I do like the little icons for Cut, Paste and Delete though. They're intuitive and very useful. There are some things missing though such as the Move To and Copy To options in File Explorer, which struck me as odd. Why were these removed? Overall, Windows 11 seems like a good operating system and I am glad I opted for it over Windows 10 again. As others have said, it is always better to have the latest version of Windows installed for security reasons but not necessarily the latest build. I have opted into Windows Insider for the Release Preview updates only rather than the future builds of Windows 11 as Microsoft have a bad reputation for releasing buggy updates (since they no longer have the QA team they used to and instead rely on their customers to test Windows for them).
What is Server 2022 based on? A quick search seems like Windows 10, but is it 22H1, 21H2, or something else? I wonder how it would compare to LTSC 2021?
windows server 2022 is based on windows 10 but build is more new build 20348 windows 10 is build 19045
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC en-US OCT 2022 os build 19044.2364 / I love this 1 not a crash, instant response just a nice build. I just installed 10 over my win 7 couple days ago. Finally got it tweaked the way I want with no crashes ect. didn't break anything windows wise and nice dark theme.
I just realized, the only reason I am actually using 10 is because of the wireless dongle for Xbox One S controller and no other, prior I was quite happy with Windows 8.... the dongle didn't work on 8
Why do you not consider w10 to be reliable? May I ask do you have a SSD or HDD? How much RAM do you have ? All just out of curiousity. Do you find it slow?
Ummm no, everyone has always hated Vista. I had a HDD at the time, sure, as SSDs weren't quite mainstream but Vista was still hella slow in comparison to XP. Also as soon as 7 came out I remember it being so much better immediately. People react based on their perception of user experience.
