I kinda understand why Android OSes and now even Windows include third party apps .... because they get payed for doing that. But let me tell you, i got a licence of windows for 5 dollars .... but if they made a slim polished OS, i give them 200$ per license and i never regret it!!!
As someone already pointed out win32 support is here to stay, win32 OS are (stupidly) not being commercialized since win11 Perhaps \system32 is the 64bit folder on 64bit windows. 32bit binaries belongs to \syswow64
With one little difference to today's situation: Windows 95 allowed you to set the "shell=PROGMAN.EXE" in SYSTEM.INI, and you had your Windows 3.x Program Manager back. We are not so lucky this time.
So what do you guys think? Is 20000.71 stable enough to be used on my primary system? No glaring bugs that would result in data loss, etc.? Or do you recommend I wait for a few more iterations, i.e. until the official RTM?
Until MS offers the update officially to Windows 10 users OR you can buy a Windows 11 PC you are betting on no unexpected changes coming. Its probably OK, but personally I'm keeping it on test systems for now.
I have it on home computer , its from 2014 and my systems at work that are from 2011 bwhahaha no problems.. in fact it runs better than windows 10 HA. I know I know under the hood there is windows 10 but whatever changes that was made help to speed things up.
I clean installed 20000.71 on my XPS 9310 2-in-1 (Late 2020), no Insider enroll, and it runs faster and more quiet/cool than stock Win10 it shipped with. It's also already perfectly stable except the explorer.exe crashing when click on taskbar notification button, which is a known bug which will be fixed on next CU (enabling "Focus Assist" will make it work in the meanwhile).
Ok, comon, that's gotta be the placebo effect. Everytime a new windows comes out, people say it runs better than the last lol.
You're correct. Truth is Windows 11 is actually slower then Windows 10. Don't get me wrong, in many ways they're the same but explorer, new context menus, settings app, are sluggish. With some tuning over time im sure it will get better. But yes, people are having insane placebo and think it's faster just for the fact it's something new.
It boot ups faster, open apps faster, framerate in both video editing and gaming is slightly higher on my side, while still being more quite and colder. Animations are also smoother, especially in Task View apps switching. Feels like a more optimized OS than 10 in my book, with minor tweaks still to be made.
Not to forget the C2R garbage. The Office installed that way goes deep into your system like a virus. I prefer UWP store versions of individual apps.
Some of my customers do it every time MS change the Start Menu in Windows 10 (which they've already done several times). They'll love Windows 11 no doubt.
No 'data loss' bugs, but if you upgrade from 10, all your default apps are reset to Windows defaults. Oh, and the 'default apps' section in Settings appears to have removed the main 'one-click' options for setting defaults browser, photo viewer etc so you have to do it one file type at a time (jpg, png, bmp etc for photos). That's the most glaring bug to me, which is going to cause thousands of complaints from ordinary users if it's not fixed.
