Do Not Download Windows 11 Preview - Really, Don't Do It.

How To Download Windows 11 Preview. How brave are you? How curious are you? You have a dependable Windows 10 machine that you use every day of your working life. Microsoft uses new versions as a guinea pig lab. You are now able to download and install a Preview edition of Windows 11. It will contain bugs and glitches, and not all the features. You should not risk your computer by doing it. I really mean it. Please don't. You aren't listening, are you? Jeez.

Microsoft Windows 11 As A Religious Experience.

Microsoft Prepares Windows 11 For A Post Pandemic World. Jeez. You would think that Microsoft was responsible for creating the world on the Eighth Day. The Windows 11 announcement sounded more like a religious sermon than the announcement of another computer operating system. Hey, Microsoft. We get it. Windows is our connection to the world in a time when connection is everything. But, dial it back a little. From the hushed, passionate tones of true believers to videos of homey, syrupy connections with families, the whole presentation was, in a word, smarmy. The guts of it was that Microsoft has gone with an updated, Apple like, rounded corners, in your face, smooth system that is easy to navigate. What is underneath it all will be revealed, I suppose. But, since we relied so much on communication in the past year, it will be front and center from now on. I like the fact that it is possible to connect with anyone with the click of an icon. Of course, ease of use isn't everything. And, Microsoft, you aren't the only operating system out there. So, let's limit the religious fervor, and remember that the operating system should be invisible, and not get in the way. It shouldn't be something to bow before, and worship.

Relax. Stardock Will Probably Publish Start 11 If Microsoft Fools With The TaskBar.

Start 10. The first software application I install on new computers is Start 10 by Stardock. Since Windows 7, when Microsoft got the Start menu right with a lower left launch point, and the ability to launch from an Explorer style cascading menu, Stardock has published $5 software that keeps it that way. Many Windows users are up in arms over reports that Microsoft is planning on a central taskbar and Apple like rounded icons. I can't help with the icons; but, they are a minor annoyance. I fully expect that Stardock will publish a Windows 11 compatible version soon after it launches. Be calm, my friends. Stardock will come to the rescue.

Microsoft Steals Apple's Interface?

Windows 11 - Here's Why There Is Already A Backlash. When Windows 11 debuts next week, it appears that there will be a bunch of unhappy Windows users. The interface looks suspiciously like Apple OS, with icons with rounded corners, and an icon bar in the bottom center of the screen. Of course, it really doesn't matter what OS you use. Like lipstick on a pig, it's what's inside that counts. We will all get used to it, and, as long as my software runs, I will be content. Our society is way too concerned with outward appearance. Substance matters.
