Windows 11 will be available on October 5th

After months of hype, Windows 11 has a release date. Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 will be available on October 5th, both as a free upgrade for qualifying Windows 10 systems as well as new PCs shipping with the OS pre-installed.

Don't assume you'll get the upgrade on day one, though. This is a gradual rollout that will prioritize newer hardware and use "intelligence models" to determine who gets the upgrade first, including reliability and device age. All supporting machines will get the update by mid-2022, but this suggests you may be . . .

We bought Kay a new Dell laptop in July with Windows 10 installed. Looks like she'll get Win 11 pretty quick if she wants it.

Will it be as bad as Windows 8?

It will not feel like a real Microsoft product unless it removes all functionality that the users rely on, adds a bunch of bull crap that no one cares about, crashes computers, and loses files.

But I have to hand it to Bill Gates. At least his dick pics did not get hacked by some Arabs like Bezos.

Microsoft did clean up Win 8 with version 8.1 fairly quick. 8.1 was a much better version, I have it installed on an Asus Transformer T100 and I have had no problem with that OS.

Eleven will probably have it's own set of problems too.

Complete with new hidden telemetry services that report to the Utah data center.
