12 Month Windows

Over the past several months I've been making the switch away from Apple and taking up with the likes of Windows and Android instead of MacOS and iOS.

It has taken all the best features of both Operating Systems and combined them into a slick, intuitive operating system that has something for everybody. I will eventually get around to writing a full review of Windows 11, but I don't want to get distracted and go plummeting down that rabbit hole. ADHD isn't a joke... I've been down rabbit h...
