Windows 11 ISO Leaks to the Web, New Start Screen, Mac-like Centered Dock, Rounded Edges
Alleged screenshots of Microsoft's upcoming operating system, the Windows 11, were leaked to the web ahead of its June 24 unveiling. The screenshots reveal a user interface that has several tie-ins with the current Windows 10, although enough is there to set it apart. For starters, the Start "menu" (if you can call it that), looks less like a menu, and more like a pop-out window with icons and actions, much like the macOS Finder. Icons pinned to the taskbar or open, are centered. The clock and system tray is still where it should be.
Windows Explorer features a familiar ribbon-type user interface, although there are changes to the icons. It's laid out exactly like in Windows 10. A thing to notice here is the window theme itself, which is single-tone, and with rounded edges. The "News and Interests" menu that surfaced in the recent Windows 10 update is more full-featured. User interface is only a fraction of what makes up a Windows major version, and Windows 11 is said to feature major under-the-hood changes, such as a new scheduler that's better suited for the upcoming hybrid x86 core processors from Intel and AMD.

To add insult to injury they don't even have a decent tablet that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Here’s hoping Stardock has a Start11 by release time.

The Start menu looks like the start menu of the GNOME desktop environment to me.
I dont like it. Too much of a integrated OS. OS needs todo simply being an OS. Nothing more.
Additionally:
Windows 11 is expected to release to the public this October, available as a free upgrade to all Windows 10 devices, similar to other past Windows updates. Those who wish to stick with Windows 10 will be able to do so, while a second branch of Windows 10 is likely to support enterprises unwilling to upgrade to the new version immediately. We also expected Windows 11 to be available for standalone purchase, as with all past versions of Microsoft operating systems.

Windows is WINDOWS and Mac is MAC!Why are they trying to be "Mac-like". Oftentimes, strategy like this is more bounded to flop.
Calm your farm.People have been asking to centre the icons on the taskbar for a long ass time now, there is even apps to do it on the Appstore because it's more eye-pleasing and workflow friendly - Especially on ultrawide displays.
You can turn off the centred icons in the settings if you're so upset by it :P
So much Win10 for ever, until most jumped on to it and then laughed at everyone.As long as they allow the old way most will be happy, although it be one more thing to change when installed. Not finding it eye pleasing here it's more of a annoyance.
The leaked ISO is named 21996.1.210529-1541.co_release_CLIENT_CONSUMER_x64FRE_en-us.iso.
Be careful and do not install it in a normal machine, it may contain malware.
You may wait until the first formal Windows Insider release.
I am a Linux user, and the start menu looks like GNOME in Linux.
Also it has desktop widgets, but they are not still available to use.
I think it is a major Windows release, focused in UI desktop improvements, while keeping support for touch screens.
I do not think it is useful for tablets, but lets wait and see the final release, it is still under development.
