Having lived through (and having barely survived) the OS/2, Windows NT/95, and NextStep/OS X marketing hype waves, I am not so easily convinced by that Apple-esque marketing pitch for Windows 11 - and especially when it takes the often criticized Apple-esque planned obsolescense to the extremes of disqualifying any hardware released more that 4 years ago.
They have been patching serious security vulnerabilities in Windows for 20 years now but athere are still new bugs found in their code each day. So of course it's easier to put the burden on device driver writers and end users and require another level of abstraction which is not compatible with old software and hardware, rather than to finally tighten all the insecure code of your own OS.I doubt Intel or amd want to go back and write new drivers for old devices they stopped selling years ago.
Containers have no relation to hypervisor virtualisation or malware protection.Please give me the containers it would solve so many problems in windows
Is there a separate menu option for 'AVIC'?Gained 1, lost 8
FYI Android apps come from the Amazon Appstore, not Google Play Store.aside mobile applications that I need to use my phone
will have access to mobile games
I know but I think it will encourage devs to put more applications in Amazon AppstoreFYI Android apps come from the Amazon Appstore, not Google Play Store.
Microsoft Store already has quite a few cross-platform mobile games.

They work through integrated Intel BridgeOn W10 you need an emulator for that. Would be great if on W11 these apps are natively supported.

Even with some superficial promises of extended 'security' and 'isolation', these server and enterprise requirements for 'secured' and 'trusted' remote-manageable PCs don't offer much for home users, who will want to retain control of their own hardware rather.
And for an OS release made with such a great fanfare, and the even greater controversy that followed, they should have offered like 99.99% 'reduction of malware infections, not just 60%.

Containers have no relation to hypervisor virtualisation or malware protection.
Linux supports OS-level virtualization where the Linux Kernel can run multiple independent user spaces, isolating them from each other through separate virtual memory space and system call state.
Therefore a Linux container is an OS image snapshot of all installed programs and libraries, but including only the the user-mode parts, while the Linux Kernel remains outside of the container. This allows you to configure your specifics applications and libraries as a 'container' image, which can run on any server in the stack, in multiple copies. There is no need for a hypervisor since you run the same OS kernel to host all the containers.
OTOH Windows does not publish its kernel interfaces, so it has to run a full copy of Windows OS in each container, with another copy of Windows OS as a hypervisor host. This is similar to the original Windows support for Linux containers where each VM runs a full Linux OS image under a Windows OS hypervisor.
Now what is 'application container' exactly - each application or process running their own copy of either Windows OS, or the Win32/UWP subsystem, in a Virtual machine managed by another copy of Windows OS as the hypervisor host? With all the additional overhead of hardware virtualization on top of virtual address space and process threading and synchronisation?
Thank you very much and goodbye, Windows 10X, we hardly knew ye![]()

The last breaking hardware and driver change was Windows Vista and it generated a lot of the same complaints. Everyone sht-hammered Microsoft about how it's so irresponsible and unacceptable, and yet we all got over it. If you have Windows Vista hardware, you can still run Windows 10 to this very day. Let's not get too hyperbolic about Microsoft force-obsoleting hardware just yet. To progress forward, sometimes there are things which need to be dropped. Which brings us to:Having lived through (and having barely survived) the OS/2, Windows NT/95, and NextStep/OS X marketing hype waves, I am not so easily convinced by that Apple-esque marketing pitch for Windows 11 - and especially when it takes the often criticized Apple-esque planned obsolescense to the extremes of disqualifying any hardware released more that 4 years ago.
I'm not sure this is a fair picture you've painted. Here's one perspective: Linux has more CVE's than Windows does, and they too are still finding new bugs in their code each day. There, I too made a perfectly valid yet hyperbolic statement to paint Linux in the same bad light. I wager you will find it distasteful, that's your right.They have been patching serious security vulnerabilities in Windows for 20 years now but athere are still new bugs found in their code each day.

Very much depends on the container technology.Containers have no relation to hypervisor virtualisation or malware protection.
So does Windows.Linux supports OS-level virtualization where the Linux Kernel can run multiple independent user spaces, isolating them from each other through separate virtual memory space and system call state.
Not true. It can run a hypervisor host as a way to further manage isolation though.OTOH Windows does not publish its kernel interfaces, so it has to run a full copy of Windows OS in each container, with another copy of Windows OS as a hypervisor host. This is similar to the original Windows support for Linux containers where each VM runs a full Linux OS image under a Windows OS hypervisor.
no I didnt. Features 3,4 seem to be OS related, but upon trying to find them on the OS -Windows 11- a message appears that all the security measures are enabled on the PC, as if I dont need to enable them or cant choose to enable them. Odd.Thank you all! Are you running Windows 10 'Vibranium' builds, or Insider Preview 'Cobalt' biuld?
So far it looks like HVCI support does require specific UEFI firmware features, even if you have the supported processor generation...
Only Intel Kaby Lake and later systems seem to enable these features by default, while AMD Ryzen systems are inconsistent...

Did you flash the latest AGESA 1.2.0.3b firmware?
Strange, looks like hypervisor is not enabled. Is that latest BIOS?
Google tends to make moves like that... Wonder how they are going to fight Ahrefs search engine now, which is the biggest threat to their monopoly in 10-20 years.Interestingly enough, after Android app compatibility was announced for Win11, Google announced it was moving away from APK to Android App Bundles. Initially this is for the Google Play store, but rumors are that APKs will be deprecated in Android in the future. As well, there's rumors that Google will tighten control over Android App Bundles for security reasons as well as disabling the ability use them to sideload apps.
It'll be interesting to see whether MS will be able to implement support for Android App Bundles in the future.

Not that I can find.Is there a separate menu option for 'AVIC'?
Locked to the bottom, sadly. I'm seriously considering going to therapy if it stays that way (like they say it would)anyone know how to move the taskbar to right side of screen?
bottom bar is REALLY annoying to be used on a touchscreen laptop
