VP & GM, Client Storage at Micron Technology5.0I have been using Windows 11 extensively for 20 years, relying on Office 365 for various tasks. Its ease of use, AI support, and positive impact on operational costs are commendable, though file comparison features like Beyond Compare would be beneficial.
IT Pre Sales and Post Sales System and Software Engineer at Nabs Integrated Tech Solutions3.5I use Windows 11 primarily for VDI deployments and find it resilient with quick provisioning, though recent Wi-Fi issues from updates have caused problems. Copilot is helpful, but patch reliability needs improvement. Overall, it's efficient but needs better update testing.
Senior Technical Manager at Peristent Systems4.5I use Windows 11 for Excel, Word, browsing, and general office tasks.

Developer/Junior Programer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees2.5Windows 11 offers high performance with improved animations compared to Windows 10. However, it lacks some conveniences like edition options and has compatibility issues with certain applications and hardware.
