What are your thoughts on the Microsoft event on 24 June?

davwheat The thing to remember though is that ThinkPads are for business, not consumer, so reliability is way more important than next gen speed or features (at least in the minds of both businesses and manufacturers)

tankerkiller125 My good old T440s: a perfection since 8 years for my usual academic & dev work ♥️ (with Arch Linux in my case)

luceos excellent ux/graphics/performance and quality case/hardware..

And a usually outrageous price tag to match 😡

Unfortunately, I’m forced to use a Dell at work. It always has issues. Situations like this are what make people turn to Apple. 😜 And make me ignore Microsoft events.

Linux or bust 🙂 WSL works but it's not quite as good as the real thing. I'm stuck with it at work for the time being on Windows, but I run Fedora at home.

ctml The only issue I have with Linux for enterprise type environments is the lack of things like Group Policies for sysadmins to manage huge collections of machines easily.

A reminder from Zac Bowden:

tolgaaaltas On ultrawide screens like in my case it will be very comfortable to have the icons centered, cool. Probably what I'm most looking forward to are the tabs in the file explorer, it would be a disappointment if they don't add them.

Darkle

tankerkiller125 I really agree with this despite the short experience I had as a sysadmin (about 2 years) it's amazing what can be done, I'm curious if maybe there is a Linux distro with this goal, but Windows is really solid in this area.

This flood includes some other parts of Windows 11 (or whatever it is):

It was on the case before Chromium-based Edge. They've actually tried tabs in some previous builds under Legacy Edge (Spartan). But they decided to switch to Chromium.

Darkle

tolgaaaltas Wow, I had no idea about this, I really don't know why it's taking so long to get this out, I have about 8-10 file explorer windows most of the time and the experience is not very pleasant when you have to go from one to another. Let's hope they finally release it 🙂

tolgaaaltas

Darkle If you're still interested in a tabbed experience on Windows, you can use the Files app.

Less than 3 hours left.

1 hour left. But not sure whether they have any surprises.

Darkle

meetdilip We'll see, with Windows 10 the leaked version had nothing to do with the version that was finally presented.

Announcement video:

All Session:

meetdilip

Can we buy one for our existing hardware ?

tolgaaaltas

meetdilip next week (this monday), you can join Insider Program if you want. But Windows 11 requires Trusted Platform Module 2.0 which is comes with 4th gen Intel processors or above.

EvilExecutor

tolgaaaltas Hmm, looks like most of the old PCs cannot run Windows 11 because of the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Requirement.

tolgaaaltas

Justoverclock This fall. But you can join Insider Program this monday.

EvilExecutor Yes, all the details about Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm here. But you can upgrade from Windows 10 for free.

i've missed the event, any release date?
