#3"a more modern look and a redesigned Start menu"
Oh please no.
Hopefully the new OS will lead to less updates for Windows 10 being force pushed to my computer.

Not likely. Forced updates are an "engagement mechanic."

You might just be right.

#7It'll probably just be "Windows" and will continue to be updated every 6 months like Windows 10 currently is. I think this was the intention with Windows 10 anyway, hence the "last version of Windows" stuff. I wonder if this next version of Windows is an attempt to throw off some of the bad rap Windows 10's gotten with the "forced updates", unpopular Start menu design, ads on the lock screen, bundled shitware games, etc.

#8Innovation is good and Windows will have had a 10 year run. I think that's enough.
I just hope they don't pull a Windows 8 again with Windows 11.

Why? The Linux kernel is GPL and that move would anger a lot of Windows driver developers who need to support a shim or release their source.

#10Why does it just feel like Microsoft is copying Apple? When Microsoft launched Windows 10 it seemed like MacOS was going to stay at 10 forever.
Now that macOS has moved on to 11, but is commonly only known by named releases, Microsoft is going to do the same...
I'm looking forward to the next Windows being named after natural features of Washington state
