Not looking forward to all of our users "accidentally" upgrading and finding out there's bugs in Autodesk and other software... 😕

I just hope it works.

Is it just cosmetic front-end changes?
Is really a 10.1 upgrade, rather than a full version 10->11 upgrade?
This reminds me of the way some companies version numbers go up very slowly eg. 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 for major changes whereas other software does stupid big major number jumps for minor changes eg v65 to v80 in a few years (hello Firefox i'm talking about you).
Seems a lot of software companies now said fuck it, we will stop doing proper versioning, and instead just bump up the main number version on every patch because that's what everyone else is doing these days, and its better for marketing and end users think its much newer, bigger and better...

Great, hope we can use the official version soon after.

No its not. Its said to have some heavy scheduler changes and will support big.LITTLE CPU's like what Intel is about to roll out.

-This should not happen. If you're admin, then it's up to you to STOP this from happening with WSUS. (Windows Software Update Services). Create a WSUS machine. Done. Problem resolved.
-The moment any type of official test build appears, it's again up to you to test and get to know the issues.
Autodesk should also have patches out upon the release date of WIN 11. Issues? Nah, be active and avoid them. 🙂

Worst streaming ever. If Windows 11 lags and buffers like this I'm out, PC community can burn to crispy hell!

the video in the linkdoesn't even start... that's... not a good first look for MS. They should stream on known platforms instead.

It crashed so soon. 😀

It works now for me.
Officially announced Windows 11, is real.

Well the video started. It started at the announcer's house and how it feels right and blablabla then the stream cuts off stays loading forever. Great job..........
And I tried with Edge too. Same thing.

You can also read the event coverage on Windows Central or Neowin:

So it does require a recent 64-bit CPU with UEFI/Secure Boot, and also TPM 2.0, Direct3D 12 / WDDM 2.x, and 4 GBytes of RAM on top of that.

I like the auto HDR stuff

That's BS info, inaccurate. Sorry.

^Actually it seems pretty accurate considering its the same info inside Microsofts official tool.

Windows is an OS nothing more, nothing less. Why try so desperately to emotionally tie one in to associating how one feels about what is considered home to an OS. These companies need to stop with the phycological mumbo jumbo. Has no place in an OS. Each word crafted to trigger an association. Satya's speech grossed me out the most. The others were just doing their jobs as puppets.

Great.... A launch event with no launch date and no information what options will be to upgrade..
