Last night for the first time after Windows 7 SP2, I helped someone setup a new #Windows (11 Pro) computer for their home. I think I should write a blog post about the whole experience. But here are what were shocking to me:
1. It tried to force Office subscription
2. Zero mention of Windows #Recall (is it still a thing?)
3. Printer was detected (via USB) immediately without needing to install driver
4. It looks ALOT like KDE Plasma and a little bit of Gnome from UI design perspective
#Windows12 wird ein Fiebertraum. Natürlich ganz viel "KI" mit Sprachsteuerung und dafür muss man nur alles Microsoft überlassen, was man so tut. #Recall war nur der Anfang.
