Just so there's no confusion or anything - I voluntarily stepped down from the mods group :(

Unfortunately I just have too much on in my life to properly commit guaranteed hours to Neowin every week to do the moderators job justice - I did ponder this before I accepted it, and talked with Barney about it, and thought it'd be ok but after a few weeks at it, I already realised I just didn't have the time and handed in my resignation.

Back to being an MVC for now :) Cheers.

Shame :/ Good on you for being upfront (Y) Moderating does take up a good chunk of your free time.

your never going to become one if you ask

Indeed, those people who ask are immediately put on the "blacklist" :ninja:

Radish?

The initiation ceremony wasn't that bad - was it?

Best of luck with whatever you've got going on :).

A Global Mod made a double post?

Commence your divisions by 0.

Thanks guys. It was a tough decision as Neowin is a great community - but again, I felt it was unfair to tie up a moderator position when I realistically couldn't give it the attention it deserved. I knew it would only have lead to 'awkward conversations' later on down the line when I hadn't been giving enough time to it! I didn't want to have to put any of the g-mods / owners in that position so thought I should bow out now.

If my circumstances change (i.e. I drop out of the other forums I moderate for whatever reason!) I'll be sure to check and see if you still need (or want!) extra help moderating! :)

    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
