Windows 11 has nothing in common with Windows 3.0.

 
Oh, it has plenty in common. Drive letters, default extensions for
finding executables, crap .BAT files, “reserved” file names (anybody
know what they are?), tendency to become flaky over time, difficulties
with multi- tasking ...
 
And that’s just off the top of my head.

How about the "hide known file extensions" feature that makes it easier
for malware writers? Where an EXE file called "help.txt.exe" can look like
a harmless text file.
