I’m joining Mary Jo Foley and Leo Laporte to cover Microsoft’s “What’s Next for Windows” event today live at 11 am ET.
What: What’s next for Windows
When: Thursday, June 24 at 11 am ET
Where: twit.tv/live
Who: Mary Jo Foley, Leo Laporte, and Paul Thurrott
Why: Microsoft is expected to unveil Windows 11 as the next major version of Windows.
Hopefully, we’ll see you there. But if you’d rather watch the official livestream, you can do so at the Microsoft website. Either way, it will be interesting.

Log in to Reply<p>Why am I excited about this? It probably won’t change anything significant about how I use Windows in my personal life and my IT department won’t let it through for literally more than a year. </p><p><br></p><p>I guess not everything has to make rational sense. Very much looking forward to the livestream! </p>

Premium MemberLog in to Reply<p>I’m not sure what to make of the event, though it should prove interesting. As far as I know, it was labelled a Microsoft event, not a Windows event. The question I have is does that mean there will be focus (hardware? gaming?) on other items apart from the OS? </p><p><br></p><p>I feel like there should be a Microsoft Event Cocktail. Hmmm…dry gin of choice, Cointreau, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice? Or maybe prosecco, gin, Cointreau?</p>

Log in to Reply<p>With spinning circle interruptions every few minutes, this live presentation is unwatchable. Comments from others imply I’m not the only one with issues. </p>

Premium MemberLog in to Reply<p>Wonder if Dev channel insiders might get a build of Windows 11 to test, or if Dev channel Insiders gets a choice to stay on Dev builds of Windows 10 or get Dev builds of Windows 11? </p>

Premium MemberLog in to Reply<p>I missed the first minutes as the stream from Microsoft.com was just spinning, had to switch to the Twitter stream to watch the event, aside from that, I’m very satisfied with the presentation and Windows 11, can’t wait to start using it!</p>

Premium MemberLog in to Reply<p>I should have started here. i tried to stream this direct from Microsoft’s site but it kept buffering which appeared to be on their side, and then crapped out and would not start again.</p>

Log in to Reply<p>Interesting (if a load of marketing waffle that means little). I’m certainly not keen on what I see, but no doubt it is far better than what happened in the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8!</p>

Log in to Reply<p>So with Android apps in the Windows Store (I’m not calling it the "Microsoft Store"), does this mean they’re conceding on the failure of Android tablet devices? Are they going to start making more smaller tablets or push OEM’s to make more, again, after the failure of Windows 8 tablets?</p><p><br></p><p>And what about Android app compatibility? And with ARM? Is this an emulation system or some bloated Hyper-V processor virtualization system?</p>

Premium MemberLog in to Reply<p>Looks life Microsoft may have finally cracked the tablet user interface. All the power of the desktop but with a nicer tablet interface than iOS. Microsoft is not going to knock the iPad off of its pedestal, however Windows 11 will grab a much larger share of the tablet space moving forward. </p>

Log in to Reply<p>So when? How much? How many versions?? (home, pro, enterprise etc). What happens to Windows 10? Does Windows 10 get any of this stuff, like Teams built in or Direct Storage for PC gaming, or the new store app?</p><p><br></p><p>That presentation was VERY lacking.</p>
