What do you like best about Windows 11?

Been using windows since win98 as a kid, skipped Vista and 8, and now with Windows 11.

Didn't really felt like i needed an upgrade after win10 but It's still a solid upgrade..also free btw. w/ slick interface, Teams in tow for quick chats if that's your thing as we personally use Slack as our main comms for work . Windows Defender's a reliable guard, settings are a breeze, and widgets let me do my thing professionally. Compared to Windows 10, 11's a speed demon - smooth and snappy (Especially Tiny11, if you've heard of that version of Windows11). The new Start menu and tweaks make pro tasks a breeze.

What do you like best about Windows 11?

Windows 11 brings a refreshing change to the Microsoft operating system landscape, and its strengths lie in various aspects. The new design elements, such as the centered Start Menu and taskbar, contribute to an aesthetically pleasing and modern user interface. While the initial adaptation may pose challenges for users accustomed to the traditional Windows layout, the overall ease of use is commendable. The ease of implementation is facilitated by backward compatibility with Windows 10 and reasonable system requirements, allowing a broad range of devices to smoothly upgrade to the new OS. Microsoft's robust customer support, delivered through various channels, ensures users have access to assistance and updates to address issues and improve the overall user experience. Windows 11 is utilized daily by millions for diverse purposes, offering features like Snap Layouts, a redesigned Microsoft Store, and integrated Microsoft Teams, enhancing multitasking and collaboration. However, user experiences may vary, and individual preferences play a significant role in evaluating the value of the new features. The operating system's integration capabilities with Microsoft's ecosystem are notable, although users deeply invested in alternative ecosystems might face integration challenges. Regular updates are expected to refine and expand Windows 11's features, making it an evolving platform with the potential for broader acceptance over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the sleek and modern user interface with rounded corners. Also start menu button has been moved to center, it looks very aesthetic.

Windows have enhanced window management fetaures like snap layouts and snap groups make multitasking more efficient which makes switching between applications seamless.

I have also experinced some improvment in virtual desktop customization option which provide more personalized and organised workspace and I'm liking that.

I have noticed faster window animations and an overall smoother experience so i can recommend this latest, sleek version of windows to new users.

It also integrate with microsoft services seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
