Microsoft says thank you Windows Insiders to help shape Windows 11


A lot of speculation about who will like it & who will use it ! Myself i like this W11 Beta and will like the new full version if it's along the same lines ! Why not wait & see what it's like then make your opinions/decisions !!

Just download the official Windows 11 release ISO on the Microsoft site and install it. That's what I did on the day it was released a week ago. I like it too. It's been fast and totally error free on my two computers.

If you were referring to me, I was not being flippant.

It takes more steps to do the same thing in Windows 11 AS 10. It is not subjective. If you use the context menus you often have to go to show more options to find what your need. In the start menu, MS have taken away named "folders" for a convenient one step organization to get to often used apps. In the start menu you used to be able to access all apps without a second mouse click. Just select a number or letter and you would be there. I don't know how dumbing this down and making it more difficult to get somewhere makes this more suitable for a business environment. That is all. I can live with that, but not that it was justified in any way. I would be glad to know of something that is more efficient in 11 UI or how business interests drove the UI changes.
Oh, no. I was speaking in general. I see this a lot. Wasn't singling out you.

I wonder how much notice MS took of all the feedback!! I also wonder how many people became insiders and never sent any feedback, just a way for them to get Win 11 early
