i think if they actually call it windows 11, then they must have something a lot bigger in the works, that’s locked down so the public can’t see

That adjusted brightness for battery life took so long to arrive.

WOW WHAT INNOVATION
ICON CHANGES
IM SO HYPED

[IdeasAreBulletproof]

I'm kind of seeing the update with some hope and skepticism. But I feel like the Update will be pushed as a Update rather then a new OS

[daveynorton]

The new icons look like Apple emojis, but I like their decision. Windows 10 icons look sort of outdated to me now after watching this 😂

[jakirbasha]

After a very long time, i am excited for a new windows version.
Hope we see a major overhaul as hyped.

[superangrybrit]

I hope they'll finally redo File Explorer with proper OneDrive integration. We still don't have a Nearby Share/AirDrop implementation. Windows Desktop is so far behind.😟

This isn't Windows 11.
This is just the latest release of Windows 10.

When is Windows going to finally add official support for tabbed browsing in File Explorer????

[Altirix_]

they really should add tabs to the settings page, its a bit annoying that clicking something like the properties will take you to a whole new page, either a prompt like they use in the storage spaces or use tabs that allow you to switch between stuff easier than needing to go back.

or hey if we want to try something a bit unique, look at all the space on the right when its full screen. that could be a fantastic use of dead space. Microsoft is treating windows like its got a long display like a phone

This was an excellent review of "Sun Valley". My compliments and thanks!

[startfirebg]

After so many years, changing the looks of the icons is still a "new feature"? Really?
Instead of building really intuitive and easy-to-navigate and use OS, they're playing kids.

[Racer-X-]

I'll wait the couple years it will take to work out the bugs.

[rodrigofilho]

Windows 11 will be:
1)More Bloatware
2)Less Privacy
3)New Drivers = Bad support for older systems
4)It will need more resources for sure.

Thank you for a thorough overview.
I especially love the storage options. They are clean and simplified. I also appreciate the streamlined and new virtual machine and Linux options.

[TheScrowlingFender]

Looks like it's just gonna be "Windows" now. Apple did it by turning "Mac OS X" into "macOS."

[FuzzyPuppet]

what a joke! it looks exactly the same!

"Hey guys we have a 'new' windows version, do you know what's new(mostly)? We made all icons look like 2011-2014ish Ubuntu's icons, do you like it?"
