I was happily using Windows 10 until a few months ago, but needed to build a new PC. I got a glimpse of Windows 11 on a friend's laptop and didn't like it.

You really took the downvotes with grace.
In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And we all know "numbers must go up" (=cost must go down).
You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.
The same people couldn't wear a face mask to save the lives of their relatives.
A hundred euro is quite a difference. Didn't expect it to be that much, tbh.
The only consolation is that, with the discounter sets, you will get something that has been tried and tested and everything is according to the relevant technical standards. Should be, anyway.
