If it is I'll just get an old licence n upgrade. Got lots of 7 licences spare anyway from years ago.

Please tell me your not using it as a main OS.

Linux is free and looks better and probably works better... without telemetry.... You can bet there is more of that in Win11. Maybe it is now time to move to Linux

I would happily move to Ubuntu if I could get yuris revenge command and conquer working in it.

Windows 11 seems to be just a little bit more than a new skin on Windows 10. Nothing I've seen indicates any under-the-hood changes.

should be still windows 10 then just with a new theme.

Do you even know when the time bomb runs out? These versions won’t work forever.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

No timebomb on the leak

I find that very bizarre that Microsoft would have this out without a time bomb. I really wouldn’t trust it.

Might have to try it looks like it's working with snap and wine;

I can't move to ubuntu, something I need doesn't work in it.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

You really don't want to be using this as a main OS. Anything could happen.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Funny how Microsoft never really learns from that.

I don’t think Microsoft learns from anything apart from if the money is rolling in they must be doing something right.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

What? Or is it super embarrassing to admit what it is (NSFW? Or worried someone will show it can work and embarass that way?). Not after embarrassment but puzzled why you wouldnt say what it was!

RMM remote desktop if you really must know. Doesn't support latest ubuntu.

same can be said for win 10.

Not even anything remotely the same. Windows 10 is support. That is not.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I bet it's more stable/reliable than Windows 8 RTM

Well I would hope so, but the point is - it isn't supported. You just asking for trouble if anything goes wrong.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Does anyone use any of the bundled apps like maps, alarm clock, groove music? I mean they seem better suited to phones.

Don't use a single app like that by M$.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Meh... it's W10 that's trying to be more Mac like.

It's just a new interface.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

i have it running on all my machines i am impressed with it.

mad.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

We actually expecting a release on the 24th?

I was thinking it would be unveiled on the 24th and would be aviaable at a later date. Most likely Oct.

No it's just an unveiling. Not a release.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Did you hear what he said in the video? He said he got it from his microsoft developer account and not the links online. That's very interesting because there is no where online says that microsoft released it to developers.

Are mods not arsed today? Seems they are either overzealous or non existent.

It's mods hangover day.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

What do the content creators, classic desktop users, gamers get from this?
Nothing!

You get nowt!

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Personally I just want it to be very lightweight with great performance, it's mainly just a launcher for the other software

How would you feel with just an icon on the screen with no taskbar or settings then?
