Windows 11 ISO Leaks to the Web, New Start Screen, Mac-like Centered Dock, Rounded Edges

johnpa · Jun 16, 2021

I have read, the new apps and the new Microsoft Store are not available in Windows 11 yet.

No thanks, Microsoft. I'll pass...

All I see is news hogging my start menu, and a bunch of xbox crap. Same old sh*t, SMH. Gonna have to do major surgery.

Here’s hoping Stardock has a Start11 by release time.

I don't think that this is the start menu, but rather the news/weather panel that they recently added :

Oh Jesus, isn't it enough to hear about the world's BS on the radio at work, now I'll have to look at it on my own PC as well? I hope it can be uninstalled (or minimised like the current panel).

I want to see their stats that show many users disabled it after first boot.

It isn't as bad as many of you are making it out to be, have none of you ever seen custom themes on XP or win7

You can "disable" it by right clicking the taskbar then go to "News and interests" and select "Turn off".

Looks like macOS beta (dock) but more primitive

I hope that will be true for Win 11 too - though the weather part is quite useful.

Ok, thanks. Damn, that is not a “feature I want. I’ll have to figure out how to disable it. Or someone else will. There will likely be many that have all the less desirable components disabled by the time it is officially released.

Dammit if they are going to make it like a Mac I'm going to Linux

It can be moved.

If I wanted Mac OS...I'd use I don't know...Mac OS.

I am attaching two images of the Start menu, from my installation in VirtualBox.

There are not Live Tiles.

The second image is alright, but what's that chaos in the first one? Also, why is the Start button not in the corner where it has been for the last 30 years or so? Does Microsoft have nothing better to do than redesign things that never needed redesigning?

Prima.Vera · Jun 16, 2021

wtf is this $hit???

Looks like the traditional start menu is a regedit away.

I am not to bothered about the looks or start button, I couldn't care less about the middle task bar move, the middle is probably the best place, 50% closer to where the cursor usually is when I decide to start something.
Start menu's gone, did I actually use it much, no but it was nice to have.

But that's pretty much it, how's that equal a generational leap I'm going to have to think about that, they need a killer app or API because this meh basket isn't different enough to pay for ATM IMHO.

The taskbar can be aligned to the left.

Absolutely disgusting rounded crap with tons of mobile elements.
MS is absolute shameless liars, they said Win 10 would be the last.

Chrispy_ · Jun 16, 2021

I absolutely detest the News and Interests 'feature' foisted upon Windows 10.

People have their own preferred delivery mechanisms for news, and it's extremely likely Bing News isn't their chosen source despite Microsoft jamming it in their face incessantly over the last two decades. I've not used it or changed any preferences but by default it's largely just tabloid rubbish riddled with Taboola/Outbrain adbait.

Oh and guess what, any items you click on for more info in the News and Interests app ignore your browser choice and open in Edge.

F*ck off, Microsoft, seriously....

rutra80 · Jun 16, 2021

MS is so insecure, like a teenage copycat. They have the most mature, best OS in the world but they keep leading it like a sheep would lead a lion. With W8 they were trying to make it a mobile, touch operated OS, faking an iOS and Android with their stores. Now they're trying to downgrade it to a macOS. Seems like it will follow the rule that every 2nd release sucks.

I don't understand why people would want information selected by a third party from questionable sources to be shoved into their faces. If I was so uninterested about the quality of the content I consume, I'd rather pay for a TV service. With that, you don't even need to click on anything. Perfect for ~~stupid~~ lazy people.

Aleksandar_038 · Jun 16, 2021

OK, people are hilarious.
There were so many comments over the web that Windows 10X start is so much better, refreshing, and good looking etc, etc.... then ugly live tiles... And now they change Start to that version (plus, it is customizable), and everybody are angry?!?! Seriously?

If Windows is such a mess, then just jump to Linux or MacOS. Forget Windows... It is ugly, unstable, slow, etc, etc... Linux is great, awesome, customizable, bla, bla - we are listening that for 20 years already from so many people. I mean, we all should have switched by now, no?
