Kreeblah posted:I do wish they'd had some more news on ARM Windows, though. I'm looking forward to my next laptop upgrade, but it's gonna be an ARM Mac, so I'd really like there to be some sort of version of Windows I can virtualize for the rare times when I need to use it. You can already virtualize Windows Arm. And fall update should bring x64 emulation in addition to 32bit one. As for news Windows 11 will allow 64bit arm programs use x64 dlls.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I'm not clear on where the Android apps are coming from - it sounds like it's from Amazon via the Windows Store. I avoid Amazon as much as possible, so if it requires something to do with them I'm a little less than thrilled. There probably is sideloading. And the Amazon stuff probably just shows that you can add additional stores to Windows store. Additionally in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egZ82QGshX8 they show that a store entry can be, for example, simply a link like https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.16/win64/vlc-3.0.16-win64.exe. no manifests or special packaging.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Big same. I love the tactile feel of touch interfaces, and the new haptic support on Surface pen they talked about sounds kind of intriguing too. On a lighter note: Microsoft sells a 4800$ Surface Studio 2 that has 7th gen intel cpu. So is not officially supported.

Small keyboard still not available in my language. Also performance of the on screen keyboard is awful on my laptop. The whole UI experience reminds me of running Windows Blinds on Windows 95.

MikeJF posted:Dunno, but speaking of office, I gotta say I'm not hugely thrilled with the refresh. It's pretty on the surface, but one thing that they're losing that a lot of UIs are losing these days is the use of contrast to help separate and group control groups. They went the right way between 13 and 16 but now they're going back to a sea of pale.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Speaking of which, there's a Surface event on the 22nd, and if it turns out they're bringing back the Surface Neo before it gets too out of date and trying to push this out in time for release then They removed Surface Neo information from their website. It's dead. Intel even discontinued the CPU it was using.

Ihmemies posted:Maybe Intel sent MS a list of CPU's they are allowed to support in order to sell more new CPU's? Microsoft promised the oems that they will get a new os to sell to customers - windows 10x. It was bad even by Microsoft standards. So they cancelled it. Oems still demand new os. So microsoft slaps togeter windows 11

~Coxy posted:Windows 10 is this way now. Not even starting from the GM. You probably didn't experience the end of Windows 7 with the exponential increase in update time (and updates breaking at some point). With Windows 10 you just install the latest full build on top of any previous one. And the the latest rollup.

It's a known problem with Intel Gpu drivers and Windows 20h1 and up. You need either latest 101.1191 or much older driver.

That person, team, or leader is loving stupid. There is no button because there never was a button. The taskbar/start menu in Windows 11 is from their dual-screen mobile device Surface Neo.

Continuing on hdds. Onedrive/Edge/Office/Windows Store/Defender/Windows update all have different independent update mechanisms that kick on boot. And have to compete with each other/Defender for the hdd. Add to that Chrome/Discord/Dropbox with their updates also running on boot. Add to that Chome running essentially additional antivirus full system scan on first launch after update. And the poor hdd can't keep up.
