Week 2 posting - Operating System

 Windows has had some ups and downs in the past when it comes to launching new Operating Systems. In October of 2021, Windows launched their latest operating system, Windows 11. They haven’t really promoted the new operating system that much because I spend a lot of time on my computer and am just now hearing about it. A lot of people would have to go out and get new PC’s or upgrade their current ones in order to run Windows 11.

Personally, one of the coolest new features offered in Windows 11 is what they are calling Snap Layouts. It allows you to quickly set a layout for how apps appear on your screen. These layouts are saved on the app taskbar and do not have to be re-created each time. Some of their default apps are getting major overhauls and even gaining some abilities that paid apps do not offer. Microsoft is pushing their Teams app by having it installed and available on the taskbar as they are wanting to reach out to everyone and not just be focused on workplace uses.

I feel like for now, I am content with using Windows 10 on my personal computer. Perhaps after a few years to allow them to work out bugs and get patches in place, I will look into upgrading my computer along with my operating system.
