I grew up on Windows and prefer it for most things, but it's been nice knowing two platforms well for so many years.
There is still a 'User Account Creation Failed' bug when going beta back to previous, so you have to make sure you have your most current account backed up via Time Machine pre upgrade or use another Mac to restore an IPSW file Apple gives us in the dev channel. Even clean installing from USB can be an issue. You have to be extra careful to be prepared before you get in a MacOS Beta on M1.
You have to know the tricks, as once you install a beta, your system restoration profile is updated to the beta version as well. In fact, on M1, it is near a nightmare to go backwards. The entire beta experience and reverting back is easier on Windows. I use Windows on Desktop and MacOS on my laptop. The MacOS upgrade train isn't smooth like everything thinks, nor is the beta program. It is the same chorus every time and they ultimately upgrade. If you’re curious about how Microsoft is slyly redirecting users to Edge, MSN News, and Bing in Windows 11, be sure to check out Aleksandersen’s post: he has a nice description of how EdgeDeflector stops this behavior. It will open in the browser you prefer, and not in Microsoft Edge. For example, open Widgets (WINKEY + W) and select a news story. To test it, try using an experience that normally force-opens Microsoft Edge. Instead, open Settings (WINKEY + I), navigate to Apps > Default Apps, and scroll down to “Choose defaults by link type.” Then, search for the term MICROSOFT-EDGE and change that to EdgeDeflector as per the dialog shown above. But the instructions are for Windows 10 and can’t be replicated in Windows 11. After installing the executable, you’ll be prompted to take a few additional steps to complete the installation. The app is tiny and it’s free to install and use.” “EdgeDeflector lets you use your default web browser even when Windows normally force-opens Microsoft Edge instead. “Seemingly normal-looking web links all over Windows 10, the Cortana digital assistant, and Microsoft apps like Mail, News, and Your Phone force-open in Microsoft Edge rather than in your system-defined default web browser,” he explains. And one already has: Daniel Aleksandersen has published a new version of its EdgeDeflector utility that takes on some of the ugliness in Windows 11.
Obviously, third parties will step in to solve these problems. In some cases, Windows 11 will simply ignore the choice you laboriously made: for example, when you use Start or Widget search, the results will appear in Microsoft Edge no matter which browser you prefer.
Controversially, Microsoft is making it much harder to change your default browser in Windows 11, but there are even deeper problems.
