Microsoft Windows event June 24 @ 11am (naturally):

https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-makes-its-windows-11-pitch/

*Start menu launches from the center now instead of from the left side of the screen

*Windows Updates 40% smaller; runs in the background

*Windows 11 will now be updated annually (‘patch Tuesday’ goes away)

*Better suited for the hybrid work world than Windows 10 (Thurrott blog is worth a read)

*Enlarged touch targets for fewer, fat-fingered, tablet mode mishaps

*New ‘Windows Store’ which will include Android apps thru Amazon using Intel’s ‘bridge’ software; no 30% commission there (like Apple)

*Teams replacing Skype for general connectivity; Teams Chat to be taskbar integrated

*New themes availability; your Office theme coordinates automatically

*PCs must be on Windows 10 build 20H1 in order to upgrade to Windows 11

*Free upgrade coming this fall (pending your current PCs hardware, of course)

*Application compatibility: if it works in Windows 10, it works in Windows 11

*Pre-installed Windows 11 machines will arrive in time for…holiday shopping
