Windows 11 highlights include a solid shot at Apple’s model of monetizing everything, even the work of others. This focus is breaking the practice that has been in place since the computing age began that of users having to learn to adapt to their computers. This move to adapt to you is part of a much more significant industry change, tied to the emergence of AI, flipping computer playbooks and creating systems that adapt to their users. Windows 11 is the first version of the platform that was designed, at least partially, to adapt to how you work, not force you to change how you work to fit the new OS. Microsoft Windows and devices chief Panos Panay (pictured above) referred to the focus for this offering as building a safe home you could enjoy using - and where you could always safely return. Windows 11 is designed to help with productivity. Many of the expected features - and I expect, a couple of surprises (here’s hoping they are good ones) - won’t show up until shortly before the official availability of the product. While I’ll begin working with Windows 11 with a lot of you this week, it should be noted that the OS won’t be complete until fall. Windows 11 also takes a hard pivot from just being an operational layer between the hardware and the applications you are running to being far more capable alone.

Microsoft will continue Windows 10 support well into 2025 and, by then, your non-compliant hardware should either be obsolete or no longer functioning. It showcases a heavy focus on security, critical for this version due to the massive proliferation of malware and state-level attackers this decade.

This security focus is to assure entire classes of malware won’t execute on the system.

This last isn’t a given because you need TPM 2.0 in the hardware and secure boot enabled for it to work.

Windows 11 is a free upgrade to any legal Windows 10 system that will support it. Those critical parts are security and the user interface (UI). In this case, things that annoyed the users and generally updating critical parts of the OS. In a way, this brings Windows 11 into the same kind of execution envelope enjoyed by Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10. The reason it isn’t? Under Satya Nadella Microsoft made a hard pivot to focusing on, and improving, customer needs and experiences. Windows 11 should again be an ill-conceived product with a hard-to-communicate goal, but it isn’t. The broken products failed because their goals were ill-defined. The fixed products were solid because their goals were well-defined. So the recurring problem was an ill-conceived strategy to change the OS, which broke, followed by a tightly focused strategy to fix what was broken. With all of those bad versions, the problem was that each seemed to try to meet some screwy esoteric ideal while the following versions were tightly focused on fixing what the prior versions broke.

I mean, Windows XP was good, Windows Vista was bad, Windows 7 was good, Windows 8 was terrible, and Windows 10 was good. Windows 11, the first OS fully developed under Satya Nadella, given this history, should be a dog. Subsequently, in 2015 shortly after Satya Nadella took over, Windows 10 hit skipping Windows 9. In the first decade of this century, we had a crapload of Windows versions starting with Windows 2000 and the disastrous Windows Millennium, to Windows XP, the train wreck that was Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Then we’ll close with my product of the week from Asus that sets the bar on laptop gaming performance. Let’s talk about Windows 11 and Windows 12. It also suggests a path to the next version of Windows - which for now we’ll call Windows 12 - that could be even more groundbreaking. Windows 11 shows a massive change in focus from earlier significant releases, which pretty much assures that the Windows Vista and Windows 8 mistakes won’t be repeated, at least not under the current leadership. Microsoft has as well, and this will be the first major version of Windows conceived and launched under Satya Nadella. The world has changed a lot since that 1995 launch. I’ve covered every Windows launch since that of Windows 95, and Windows 11 may be the most significant since the iconic introduction of Microsoft’s first GUI operating system.
