"Teams" sound great in a work environment. But, at home - I'm not sure.

#102So taskbar extends horizontally and places icons in the middle, which means: 1. It creates unnecessary visual clutter in the right and left sides and takes up valuable space. 2. Users will have harder time clicking to start button. I’m having hard time seeing what is UX benefit of this?
You can move it back to the corner in the settings.

#103> Windows updates are 40 percent smaller, and more efficient as they now happen in the background. Hopefully that will mean that Windows 11 doesn’t disturb you in the middle of work.
I wonder why this was never done sooner considering Windows is basically synonymous with “enterprise.”
Re: Microsoft announces Windows 11
#104Getting rid of tiles and similar seems like a substantial improvement, and might address part of people's complaints about Windows 10. The most important question, though: is Windows still "evergreen" with free updates, or will people have to buy Windows 11? The latter would mean we can't count on Windows systems being up to date. I was happily looking forward to the day when software could just support Windows 10 an…
Windows 11 will be a free upgrade: https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22546801/microsoft-window...
Re: Microsoft announces Windows 11
#105Now is the time to abandon Windows. I don't know what can replace it right now, for non-technical users, but the market is ready for an OS that isn't tied to hardware (MacOS) and doesn't require as much expertise or effort as Linux variants (especially when running specific software). Microsoft is here with Windows 11, integrating teams into the OS, because they want to shill it, not because it's what users want. The…
Windows works well enough for me it's just a tool

#106I see that it supports Android apps. Does that mean we have complete GUI support for WSL2? I believe it will use WSL2 in the backend?
Full GUI support is available now in preview, so by the time Windows 11 launches, it should be ready for mainstream support. It uses Wayland and RDP natively. I haven't seen any announcement of if this will be used for the Android support layer, but it will likely be using something similar.
Edit: It looks like this will be using Intel Bridge Technology to cross compile into x86. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-...

#107> " Microsoft is also integrating Microsoft Teams directly into Windows 11, for both consumers and commercial users. " Not that I have any objections to Teams per se but attempting to drive adoption by bundling got Microsoft in trouble in the IE era; didn't they learn their lesson? Either way, probably the first thing I'll be doing after a fresh install of Windows 11 is uninstalling Teams.
Will uninstalling be an option? They say it's integrated, so that seems unlikely.
Most likely easy to disable. Pretty sure I have Cortana and Microsoft Store but I disabled the services, removed the Taskbar icons and never think about it heh.

#108Developers can use their own payment systems, and MS take nothing. That's a bit of a kick in the teeth to Apple.

#109Microsoft and Apple both said a few years back that they had "finished" their respective operating systems and were no longer going to do versioning like this. I wonder why the change of heart?
New execs need to make their mark.

#110Earlier quoted context omitted.
I might be wrong (not a developer), but I thought within the official stores, in-app purchases were subject to 30%, as standard, going to the platform provider. At least that's what I understand with regard to Apple and Google stores.
You can install software on Windows and MacOS outside of the app stores jfyi
I mean, you can also do that on Android; in fact Epic was doing that for quite a while with fortnite.
