I don't really care about that as long as it doesn't interfere with my daily use; that's what I really dislike whenever MS adds something to Edge, it adds cruft to the UI, and also why I get the complaints about ads in the Start Menu (I'm not in the USA, never had ads in the Start Menu ever). That shit would be so infuirating.

Yea, this is a USA problem. Elsewhere everyone just uses a messaging app of their network's choice.

I've got Win 11 on my laptop on with the last update I think it's ok to use now. What's wrong with it?

Not a privacy freak, but still concerned about the overheads with sending unncessary data too. And I really just want an OS, not a nanny on the desktop. Copilot in Edge is useful but I hate the nagging about using it.

Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10's compatibility mode is working, as it doesn't support 16 bit programs.

Just when I was ready to upgrade to 11; I don't think I've ever been this behind in Windows upgrade cycles outside of the awful ones (ME, Vista and 8).

Nevermind that, an approach like what Sharp and the old PDAs did with transflective displays would be pretty neat too. But I suspect what'll happen is that they'll be called out for not providing "rich colours and deep blacks".

Is that what happened? Because it works absolute shite with Bluetooth keyboards too.

Damn, some sense around these parts. Always felt the TPM issue was overblown. Unless you wanted Win11 on day 1, and no sensible user should be doing that anyway!

Unlike a lot of "you" problems, it's not that easy to change. I doubt migrating over a phone is a good idea.

I'm sure this isn't just a UK problem, I'm sure many countries are reporting worsening behaviour in parents, which filters down to the children. I know it's been a problem for a while where I am!

They did announce an 11" tablet, no idea if it's launched.

It's basically a LCD with a special matte coating, is that it?
