#2Windows 11 seems to be a targeted competitor of iPad OS and just pretending desktops don't exist anymore. Hard to see the thinking in Microsoft's strategy here.

#3I was holding off and waiting for a new Surface laptop or 2-in-1 until recently when:
- Windows 11 was announced and proves to be another Vista-like misstep.
- I have learned about Framework laptops and repairability and being able to upgrade one has become a killer feature.

#5The surface duo is just such a great concept, compared to the folding screen phones. They avoid all the tech risk and expense of the folding screen phones, and the two screen form factor is just a legitimately good way to organize apps on a screen, like having two physical monitors.
The tech seems too early for the folding screen phones, and they unfold into something which is an awkward shape. There's nothing I want to do on my phone with a really big square of content.
I wish the surface neo could have gotten a chance to shine.
While we're on the subject, I wish the surface band had been given a little more time. Google has really dropped the ball with android wearables, it would have been a huge opportunity for microsoft.

But they are working hard on it. So hard that they ignore all the bugs in Office 365 and just built the latest and (not so) greatest windows.

Yet they have been advertising its problems I think. I'm not that into Windows though.

The preview for it is available so in a way it is already out. The general release is also very soon -- October 5th -- so the latest previews are likely fairly close to the final version.

Or another Windows 8 misstep. They seem intent on releasing the product with a crippled start menu (zero customization and half of it seemingly reserved for ad space), the integrated teams chat is not compatible with work accounts, the widgets do not allow you to disable the news widget.
I appreciate the typeface changes, though as a Windows user such things have never been a priority to me.
What irks me is the loss of customization and productivity enhancements of being able to group and size the start menu - all my video editing stuff in one group, coding-related apps in another, etc. That organization is what I miss the most on a daily basis.
