In reply to Sean Kelly:
I was given a Surface Pro with Windows 11 to play with for a few days. General impression was that it was the finished version of Windows 10 with all the legacy Windows 7 stuff finally gone.
Microsoft appear to be going the Apple route and dumbing down the OS to make it more appealing to users who want something that 'just works'. Also more attractive to the mobile generation. It's less cosmetically configurable from the UI than Windows 10, but the registry entries to modify the look and feel are still there to edit if you know what you're doing.
No noticeable performance improvements although Microsoft say a lot has changed behind the scenes. I was not able to test the integration with MS Teams.
Would I upgrade? I felt like I could take it or leave it really, not particularly exciting but I probably wouldn't object if it turned up on my laptop.
Edit: One big change - no more live tiles on the start menu, it looks more like an Android device.
