This would be a good meme, but as it's the #1 operating system used, it's just a sad truth.

it's because Windows 11 is reskinned Windows 10 with explorer.exe turned to an UWP app

#

in fact Windows 11 uses the exact Windows 10 kernel too (Windows NT 10.0)

#

they are the same

#

Windows 11 has just more UWP garbage

no diff

#

What does this even mean? "Function the same"?

#

all criticism I give on 11 is less taskbar customization

#

that's really it

#

spyware is both on 10 and 11

#

What kind of visible tangible difference do you expect between two different kernel versions?

unkempt hamlet
#

there is no visible difference

#

Then do 10.0.10240 and 6.3.9600 also "do the exact same thing"?

unkempt hamlet
#

no

verbal arch
#

How not?

#

10 and 11 just use same kernel

#

not 7 and 10

verbal arch
#

10.0.22000 and 10.0.19041 are as much the "same kernel" as 10.0.10240 and 6.3.9600 are.

#

Just the fact that they both start with 10.0 doesn't mean anything on its own.

#

Version numbers don't follow some law or rule, they are entirely arbitrary constructs.

#

Just like Windows 10 started as 6.4 and then turned into 10.0 mid-development. It's not like they made a huge leap that justified a huge jump in number. It was a decision made for non-technical reasons.

#

And likewise, MS could have bumped the number for 11 to 11.0 or 10.1 or whatever, but they chose not to bother with it.

And I was about to say that the only thing you can derive from two build numbers is that the higher number is that of a newer build. But not even that is true. Windows has concurrent development branches and often, a lower build number is newer than a higher one. Case in point, Beta vs Dev vs Canary.
