That windows 11 leak 

So, having played around a bit with the Windows 11 leak, I figured I'd offer my opinion as a veteran of early builds of new versions of Windows: If this really is Windows 11 and not just a Windows 10 update, it'll be in the same way macOS stopped being Mac OS X: It'll pretty much just be a major update to Windows 10 that was given a fancy name, not necessarily a whole new version.

That windows 11 leak 

There's always time for it to change majorly, but if you compare what we have now of "Windows 11" to the developer previews of Windows 8 and Windows 10, it really doesn't feel like a whole new version of Windows. It feels like an update to Windows 10. Like I said, it could change majorly before release, but, honestly, it really does feel like Microsoft just got bored of calling it Windows 10

re: That windows 11 leak 

I guess, of course, this presumes this is actually a Windows 11 leak and not a Windows 10 major update leak with some slight tweaks to say "Windows 11". It could be that this is what they've got done on the coming October update and when they go to announce Windows 11, it'll be something else entirely. I honestly don't know.

re: That windows 11 leak 

I think the most interesting thing to see going forward (assuming they are actually releasing Windows 11) is what Microsoft's plan is for those who have Windows 10. My Windows 10 product key worked in this leak, but is that liable to change going forward? Will they expect Windows 10 users to pay up like going from 7 to 8, or will they just get Windows 11 like a lot of folx got 10?
