“After screenshots were first published at Chinese site Baidu”
How did they get it first? Did China help with all the new window dressing? What else did they “help” with in the backroom?
I wonder if Win11 will be a free upgrade.
Originally a Mac thing.
Some versions of Linux let you customize any of it. They call them Panels and I can have one on any edge of the screen or have them float somewhere. I can center the content, align left, right or if side panels, top, middle, bottom etc.
I thought this was from the Babylon Bee at first. Getting closer to my beloved Windows 7. Keep trying.
Two versions before 13.
How very Mac of them.
Microsoft has reportedly been working on a new app store for Windows in recent months, and rumors suggest it will be a big change from what exists today. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has promised to “unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators” with Windows, and that will likely come in the form of a new store.
“unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators” -- Yay, more ads for apps and content.
Can’t they leave the Flippin start menu alone? Dang! Another os ill have to find a program to return the start menu back to how I liked it for a decade or more, if I am forced to upgrade to it if I want to keep windows. They could give users the CHOICE to use the new one, or to use old versions of windows like 7 start menu if they wanted to, but nooo, they gotta force everyone to change what works perfectly fine for millions. Give us a choice ms!
That said, I’ll stick with 7 offline, and online only for online games
Of course very little of what you now have will work on W11 unless it is a subscription app that requires periodic tribute to M$. So you will have to shell out many $$ for new W11 compatible applications. But be careful, W11 may also have an internal list of applications that will not be allowed on your W11 system if the vendor is not ‘woke’ enough.
As someone here has said before: Linux, the best windows upgrade.
Hot dang, I’ve been awaiting a new Startup sound for ever so long.
ping!...................
They never even got windows 10 to operate without major problems. Especially after major updates. There is windows 10 update right now that turns my computer into a pile of junk if it is installed. Slows it to a crawl by spinning the hard drive continuously.
looks a little like XP, just bring that back, it worked great.
So China hacked and stole the tech already?
Does it still have the “Blue Screen of Death”, problems powering up with multiple monitors and corrupted audio?
Those problems have existed for 20 years and still haven’t been totally fixed.
Do I need a vaccine passport to log on?
Windows 10 works fine. I’m still using Paintshop Pro 5 from 1998, Office Pro 2010, and still playing Silent Hunter, Wolves of the Pacific. Oh yeah, and I’m still playing Windows 7 games which can be downloaded from winaero.com.
Yay... Center bar icons... One of the things I most despite about the Mac Dock...
Looks like it is going with a Linux look.
They better not attempt to force the upgrade again... then many of us will have to go to 100% Linux (or mac) instead of 80% Linux (20% Winblows for games).
