Windows 11 is officially here.

Microsoft is officially confirming the name for the next release of Windows today: Windows 11. After months of teases, hints of the number 11, and a giant Windows 11 leak, Microsoft’s new operating system is official. The big focus for Windows 11 is a simplification of the Windows user interface, a new Windows store, and improvements to performance and multitasking. Windows 11 will also include support for running Android apps for the first time.

My thoughts: Some good, some work in progress, and some just bad. Some of the bad includes the Microsoft Account mandate if you're running Home which justifies at minimum buying Pro which I have been saying for years now.

The work in progress part includes the 10X UI (which is still works best for tablets and multiple screens) and the somewhat good part is their Store which looks promising but needs refinement.

Also, here's the list of Windows 10 features that WON"T be coming to 11. Some include Cortana in the boot experience, Live Tiles in the Start menu, and tablet mode plus huge changes in the Start menu and more.
