BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…
Many of you know @JenMsft. She has been *instrumental* in shaping the work we are committing to do in synthesizing a whole lotta of feedback. She is my key partner in ramping and in taking WIP forward. Expect to see and hear more from us as a team. Thank you Jen for all you do in keeping us grounded in the voice of our customers. 🙏🏽
The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…
@jonstewart Not as good as you! Stop being so humble.
A Windows laptop that actually genuinely is a better deal than the $599 MacBook Neo. Better display, more powerful SoC, more RAM/storage, more ports, premium build. All round incredible laptop for $499.
❗️CALLING SEATTLE AREA INSIDERS❗️ Let's get together! We’ll be hosting a meetup in the coming weeks to hang out, exchange ideas, and listen. Space is limited, so register for more details and your chance to attend: aka.ms/InsiderMeetUp
This is the MacBook Neo's competition btw 😭
