   When you look at an operating system as a system that YOU control,   
   then you realize the user interface is the part you control most.   
      
   The Windows 11 user interface is, IMHO, vastly inferior to that of Win11.   
   But if someone can disabuse me of that assessment, I'd like to know more.   
      
   Mainly because I don't test Windows 11.   
   I just know that the user interface appears to be a punitive downgrade.   
      
   I put together systems as a living for decades, so the system I used for   
   Windows 95 and up was to organize EVERYTHING I care about in 12 folders.   
      
   Everything that is not data, fits into those dozen folders.   
    {archivers, browsers, cleaners, editors, finance, games, etc}   
      
   Removing the plural unless it's required (e.g., news) makes that.   
   that becomes {archiver, browser, cleaner, editor, finance, game, etc}.   
      
   This works for everything you can think of, where there is no concept of   
   the catch-all of "misc" or "util" crutch we've all used in the past.   
      
   The system is (almost) foolproof, and it does away with Microsoft's   
   idiotically polluted Start menu (both the binary tiles & shortcuts).   
      
   First, I make a software hierarchy to place the original installers   
    mkdir C:\software\{archiver, browser, cleaner, editor, finance, game, etc}   
      
   Then I make an app hierarchy to install all the programs into:   
    mkdir C:\software\{archiver, browser, cleaner, editor, finance, game, etc}   
      
   Then I mkdir the menu hierarchy pinned to the taskbar for a pullout cascade   
    mkdir C:\menu\{archiver, browser, cleaner, editor, finance, game, etc}   
      
   Oh wait. Did I say pinned taskbar pullout menus?   
       
      
   You can't use them in Windows 11.   
       
      
   One of the strongest features of Windows is (apparently) gone in Win11.   
      hardware   
      
   Why?   
      
   Somebody please tell me why Microsoft removed user-populated menus?   
   Q: What benefit did Microsoft get in removing taskbar pullout cascades?
