I don't like how -
- The new centered navigation bar is incongruent with the "corner" navigation theme the rest of the OS has.
- Putting the windows popup in the center blocks the primary field of view the user has for what they're doing.
- The icons look stylistically stiff and dated.
- More wasn't done to improve the UI (though I understand it's an early build)
It looks like a new interface for Mac. And what's up with the icons being in the center of the taskbar. I hope you can move them, because holy f**k it borthers me lol
I don't play WoW anymore smh.
When Win98 came out, one of the selling points to computer makers/sellers was that it required significantly better hardware to run the new OS.
So how will this one be in that regard? Will I need to buy a new computer? Or will this one (about a year old now) continue to perform as good as it does.
My old machine was running Win7 and once I upgraded the OS to Win10, it didn't take long before I was having issues.
All I need Windows to do is shut up and get out of my way. No ads, no spying and no functions changes except for security patches.
I’m guessing Win11 will deliver on none of the above.
Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.
I saw the leaked build being used in a LTT video, and as a power user, based solely on what I've seen in that 1 video, there were several aspects I was immediately wary of.
Microsoft trying to phase out right click in general to make the system behave the same across desktops and tablets is probably my biggest issue with it.
Not being able to right click anywhere on the taskbar to open task manager is a major issue for me.
The windows button being centralized doesn't improve anything either. It's much easier to throw a mouse in the bottom left corner every time to quickly open the power menu.
Separating the search feature from the Windows menu seems wholly unnecessary. Especially considering the fact that writing with the Windows menu open will switch to the search window anyway. This will cause issues on servers/VMs without graphical hardware acceleration.
On a personal note, I frankly don't care for the new shell either. It gives off obvious MacOS vibes and if I cared for that sort of UI I'd buy a Mac.
That said, I'll probably upgrade regardless on my personal machine if there's a free upgrade path just to test out the finished build myself.
At work we only just started upgrading our clients machines to W10. Granted, they've bought extended support for W7, but that support expires in October.
Undoubtedly they'll also be buying extended support for W10 before they upgrade to W11.
Fortunately our clients use a custom shell anyway, so the new W11 shell will never be an issue. Only underlying functionality really matters.
EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH.
I don't see any valid reason for them to change the ui this way just to copy (badly) MacOS. While i also dislike MacOS ui.
Every update i just turn off everything new they add because it's mostly useless bloat like widgets, toolbars etc i'll NEVER use. I mean, seems more a tablet OS than a pc one, i just see it less functional than the current one.
I'm not against changes, and i will update for sure. But the reasons why these changes are made, i cannot really get them. Hell, most people who are not tech-savy will just endlessly complain about how things are different and "why they changed X" and "where do i find Y". Win10 was perfectly functional and people got used to it. I know for sure that in my company if we can change the UI through policies/configurations to resemble the Win10 one, we're just gonna do it by default.
Non ti fidar di me se il cuor ti manca.
Way too early beta build to get an opinion of yet from what I've seen. I look forward to the 24th or whatever it is when they announce it.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
This has been said since the 90's. Still hasn't happened. It never will because Lunux is for those that know what the hell they are doing. You will NEVER sell that to a market which has been on Windows since the 1990's.

If you can run Windows 10, you will be able to run 11.

Yes, you can move them.
Looks like just another thing to get me to spend 100 dollars on with no other practical purpose so they can make more money. Id rather just go back to xp or 7 at this point
Will it add another layer of opacity on the more advanced parameters, like network and such ?
It can be moved to the left.

It says it works well on old hardware and the requirements are no higher. I ran Win 10 on an old single core laptop and it ran fine. It was only limited by the 2gb RAM maximum on the machine. It ran better than Win 7 did on the same machine. A newer quad core laptop that came with Win 7 was upgraded to 10 with absolutely no issues.

We replaced all the teacher macbooks in my district with, I want to say 2018, Macbook Pros. Can't say I'm a fan. Everything you listed (I think I read/heard that they vent heat through the keyboard, which means crumb catchers/key covers just cause more overheating), weird ass hoops to jump through to get the permissions for some hardware/apps to even appear in the security settings in the first place, plus—and this is our fault for being dumbasses—no native video output. Just 2 USB-C ports. Which, great, you can buy hubs, but that's just an extra piece of equipment to purchase, track, and replace.
Even our 6 year old Chromebook have a built in HDMI output. Though, I could write an essay on all the absolute trashbin problems we've had with the Lenovo Chromebooks. Never had a model without a massive design flaw. Something like a third of our entire district's inventory is in a perpetual cycle of warranty repair. Hopefully the switch to ASUS helps with that.
Looks clean.
Can't they just port gnome to Windows and spare us from misery?
