As a very happy user of Windows 10, this is... disappointing <i>at best</i>.<p>They'd said Windows 10 was going to be the <i>last version of Windows</i>; a "forever" Windows that would slowly evolve over time. So when I heard about Windows 11, I was a little excited, imaging some pretty big changes to the internals - not yet another <i>pointless</i> exercise of moving things around and changing the colours. How does <i>this</i> need to be a whole new version?!<p>I wanted to hear about <i>proper innovation</i>, like a new database-based file system that actually made it out of PoC, an increase in performance and reduction in size because of dropping decades old legacy stuff, some kind of magical performance boost for Hyper-V virtualisation, some kind of actual package management, maybe new improvements to WSL. Maybe even (<i>gasp</i>), Start-menu search that actually works.<p>I dunno, <i>something big</i>.<p>Instead, we get yet.another.boring.ui.tweaking. And another outing for Widgets - nobody wanted them before, but maybe <i>now</i> they might? Right?!<p>I can only hope there is some actual substance to Windows 11 that's going to be announced later. Because as of now, I see <i>nothing</i> even slightly compelling, and nothing that couldn't have shipped as an incremental upgrade. Given the big reveal is planned for the 24th of this month, I suspect any hope is futile though.
