Maybe it’ll look and work like Win 7 again.

Wouldn't that be nice?

More likely, it will be even less intuitive than 10, which admittedly was an improvement over 8, albeit a minor one.

Microsoft continues to mimic and follow Apple. After 20 years of MacOS 10 ("OS X"), Apple finally goes to MacOS 11, and within a year, after 6 years of Windows 10, Microsoft goes to Windows 11.

Why, oh why, didn't Microsoft get ahead of the game, for once, and jump to Windows 12? Then Apple would have been forced to go to MacOS 13 which would be unlucky, right?

Sadly, I don't look forward to Windows 11. I think it'll be a disappointment -- yet another iteration of the nearly 30-years-old WinNT broken kernel, and a less and less useful UI. *sigh*

What I would find exciting would be a release of the Windows 7 GUI and NTFS/AD running over a Linux kernel. It's entirely possible, some say it's inevitable, and it will rock the world. I may not live long enough to see it, though.
