Introducing Windows 11

When MS makes a statement like this, they mean "when you buy a nice new computer with Windows 11 preinstalled, it will be easy-peasy, simple-pimple". They are not talking about early pre-releases, getting them installed on dodgy hardware that doesn't meet the stated requirements, subverting their upgrade system with UUPDump, various Insider travails, and whatnot. But if you want to be a pioneer/early adopter, you put up with certain stuff - it just comes with the territory. Adam Osborne (remember him?) used to say "you can always tell the pioneers - they're the ones with the arrows in their backs".

I just cannot see myself installing Win 11 right now.

What are your reasons?

I'm using it as my main Windows. Now on 22000.100 after two updates and all my quite old applications work fine. No crashes.

Is there any hint of any under the hood changes? e.g. a new file system to replace NTFS perhaps?

Nope

I have only just realized (after reading https://www.windowslatest.com/2021/0...are-not-happy/) that corners are now rounded. I thought that they were patented by Apple!

Neither that nor any really worthwhile changes otherwise that I'm seeing. 11 is basically 10 with more stringent hardware requirements and lipstick.
