Microsoft has unveiled Windows 11, its "Next Generation"
operating system, at a virtual event recently. The new software will let
Android apps run on the Windows desktop.
Product manager Panos Panay promised smaller, faster
security updates -- and said they would
happen in the background. Windows 11 will also let users configure multiple
desktops for work, home, and gaming, like on a Mac.
Microsoft says there are currently about 1.3 billion devices
running Windows 10. An early preview version of the new system was released for app developers earlier this
month.
Windows 11 will be available as a free update to existing
Windows 10 users - although some devices will not have the right
specifications. These include a minimum of 64 gigabytes of storage and 4
gigabytes of RAM.
One cosmetic change is putting the "Start" button
at the bottom-centre of the screen rather than left-hand side.
In addition, Windows 11 will feature tighter integration
with Microsoft's communications platform Teams. Xbox Games Pass, a subscription
service offering access to hundreds of games, will also be pre-installed.
The tech giant said it would share more profits from its app
store with creators and developers - as rival Apple continues to face
challenges over its business model.
When Windows 10 launched in 2015, Microsoft said it would be
the final version of the operating system. It has since announced Windows 10
will be retired in 2025.
