Re: Introducing Windows 11
#42My Primary concern with Windows 11 can be described as follows: 98 - ME XP - Vista 7 - 8 10 - 11 Has Microsoft broken the cycle? Time will tell.
‘Course this is hampered by Windows 2000, which came concurrent to ME and was better than XP.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
Touchscreen laptops and convertible laptops are becoming increasingly common, they can't just ignore this market segment.
increasingly common but still a tiny minority of their user base. others shouldn't suffer for that

I probably shouldn't expect different, but it's a bummer that you apparently won't be able to to load paid Google Playstore apps. I have several reference apps that are paid and would love to run those on my desktop since no web or native app exists.

#46Rounded corners and touchscreens, is that windows 8/vista again? What i want from windows is speed . More and more people are going to be using them to work from home, and not on a tablet or a laptop, but on a good old desktop pc, their sales are going up.

#48> The web was born and grew up on Windows I think CERN engineers while working on web and www protocol were using unix as windows was not even there yet. https://home.cern/science/computing/birth-web
I'm sure they're refering to the undying love every single web developer had for Internet Explorer.

#49I mean.. The taskbar seems like a Dock now. The interface seems very Apple Finder-esque now. I feel like they're just aligning with macOS now. Not that I'm complaining, the video and the interface all are sexy.
