Is Windows 11 coming? Microsoft gives us a hint
#1
Windows 11 is coming. You can just tell. All the evidence points to a name change for the operating system. Big changes, revamped UI, new store, and now this Windows event logo with the big number 11 that you can't unsee. Oh, and the event is taking place at 11am ET.

At Microsoft's Build 2021 conference last month, CEO Satya Nadella revelead that they would not cover Windows updates during the event. He noted that big changes were coming for the "next generation of Windows," and promised more information was on the way.

Then this week, Microsoft announced a Windows-only "what's-next" event scheduled for June 24 at 11am ET. The reveal used the logo above, but we managed to miss that the shadow cast by the crossbar on the windows logo omitted the horizontal bar. It's a significant omission since the light shining through casts an image that looks like an 11.

From Nadella's comments and from what we have seen of the Sun Valley update, we know significant changes are coming to the ubiquitous operating system.

Microsoft has not indicated it's moving from the Windows 10 moniker and years prior they said Windows 10 would be "the last version of Windows," but that was a very different Microsoft under a Nadella leadership that was less than a year old. The evidence seems to suggest that it may be planning to introduce Windows 11.


Windows release timeline.

The timeline for iterating Windows names has been all over the place in the last 26 years (starting with Windows 95). The shortest span was between Windows ME and Windows XP, which was 13 months, but ME was a huge mess, so that's not a big surprise.

The most prolonged wait—XP to Vista—was 63 months (just over five years). Microsoft's average for changing names is about three years. Windows 10 launched in July 2015, but the original plan was for this version to remain the live version of the operating system that would be perpetually updated without major new releases to replace it.

During Build 2021, Nadella promised this was "one of the most significant updates to Windows of the past decade." Interesting. More significant than the launch of Windows 8 in 2012 and Windows 10 in 2015? This "update" is big.


I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I'll eat the paper I wrote this article on if Windows 11 is not announced or launched on June 24.

I would be a little disappointed if they moved to Windows 11, I really hoped they would stick to their word and just keep updating Windows 10. Both as a regular home user and working in IT, OS upgrades are a pain and become mandatory when Microsoft stops pushing security updates. But I agree, all signs are pointing towards a Windows 11.

It is amazing that a single name change bothers people so much! I do not understand what is the name alone, what it changes?
In my opinion, there is absolutely no matter if upgrade a version called Windows 10 or give it a new name at some point.
Haven't heard the name change change anything yet.
We have one such proverb:
"The name doesn't ruin the man, but any man can ruin his own name."

I was using Windows 7 to the limit.
I'll probably continue to use Windows 10 until they tell me to stop.

We know that Microsoft is set to make a big announcement regarding the next generation of its Windows operating system in a couple of weeks.

What we don’t know for certain is if the successor will be called Windows 11, Windows Sun Valley, or something else entirely. However, what we do now know, is that Windows 10 is definitely on the way out.

According to the Windows 10 Home and Pro lifecycle page, Microsoft will retire Windows 10 on 10/14/2025.

The banner at the top of the page headed “Important” says: “Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 Semi-Annual Channel until October 14, 2025.”

When end-of-life happens, the operating system will no longer receive security or quality updates, although Microsoft may decide to extend the deadline slightly at some point in the future, as it did with Windows 7.

Once support ends, users will no longer be able to contact Microsoft for advice in the event of problems with that OS.

The information that Microsoft leaked by accident yesterday, suggests that it will run the new version of its operating system alongside Windows 10 for the time being at least, which would be in keeping with the retirement date. This would give users a decent amount of time to transition from one OS to the other, rather than being forced to upgrade early, as was the case in 2016 when Microsoft upgraded some Windows 7 users to Windows 10 against their will.

i read somewhere that the source code for windows 10 still contains bunch of spaghetti code, so maybe the new windows will be easier for maintenance?
