I've seen headlines of late that indicate Microsoft is finally releasing a new version of Windows. This announcement doesn't do anything for me. In fact, it will likely be more of a headache and nuisance than a welcome update.
First of all, I use Macs for all my personal computing. I do have a PC gaming laptop, but I haven't used it in years. My main interaction with Windows is through my work laptop and client desktops.
Second, companies are slow to adopt new updates. I wouldn't be surprised if my company/clients don't roll out Windows 11 until next year. They have to address all sorts of compatibility issues and make sure everything works. Fine by me.
An upgrade to Windows 11 just means more hassle for me. At some point, I'll have to test all the applications I use to make sure they work. Things will be moved around, and I'll have to poke around to figure out where they moved things. Like Snagit, which became Snippet that constantly reminds me that it will be moving. I'm sure there will be a bunch of new features that I don't need and won't use.
Note to Microsoft: How about you fix all the issues with Teams as a priority? THAT would be an update that actually interests me.
