Microsoft is set to announce its new operating system “Windows
11” alongside the
new Windows app store on June 24. Although the company
hasn’t officially shed any light on what it intends to reveal,
we’re pretty certain by now that Windows 11 will be positioned
as the next generation of Windows.

With the number of teasers and leaks, including the most recent
developer preview build leak, it’s hard not to be confident of
that fact. Despite the leaked build and number of official
teasers, there are many people who believe that the leak from
China was fake and Windows 11 doesn’t exist.

If you’re still doubting the reports, Microsoft has
accidentally published a new support
document that confirms Windows 11 is real. Thanks to the Github
listing, we can see that Microsoft’s Azure documentation has
already confirmed the existence of Windows 10 successor.

While this leak seemingly confirms Windows 11 will co-exist
with Windows 10, it doesn’t reveal anything pertaining to its
global launch schedule.

We’re yet to discover if Windows Insiders will receive the
preview builds on the same date as the announcement. Although
we’d hope Microsoft would synchronize the preview build launch
with the official event, we can never be sure with the tech
giant.

We also don’t know if the stable builds will be released in
October. There’s a possibility that the update will ship during
the holiday season on a range of new devices from OEM partners.

The release date of the stable build depends on the telemetry
data and feedback from Windows Insiders, but Microsoft is not
going to rush the release of the new OS.

Thankfully, we only have three days left to wait before
Microsoft reveals all.

Windows 11 rumours

Windows 11 leak has already confirmed a subtly redesigned
interface is in the cards and it would change the alignment of
the Start menu and taskbar buttons. Like Windows 10X,
Start Menu and taskbar icons are now centered, but users
can always relocate everything to the left-hand side from the
native settings app.

Some of the important Windows 11 changes include rounded
corners for Start, Windows Search, menus and other windows.
Microsoft has also updated legacy features like Control Panel
and Device Manager with rounded corners, and a touch of Fluent
Design’s shadow effects.

In addition to these cosmetic improvements,
Microsoft is also believed to be working on new gesture
controls and
improved window snapping experience, according to leaked
build and documentation.

Microsoft has yet to comment on the leaks and rumours as of
this writing, but it will be interesting to see what the tech
giant has in store for users, other than the leaked Start Menu
and rounded corners.
