Pretty sure to reduce long mouse travels when you open the start menu on a 49” widescreen monitor ?

The mouse travels further on a bigger screen? Why didn't I think of that.

I wish they would steer the Gui back to using text instead of Icons.

Bring back a full command line based OS. Forget this GUI BS.

Nah instead they make Linux UI part of the OS...

Got mine already (I am in a closed test group). Side effect though is that I have this strange urge to donate the the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

I'd love it if they would fix the columns on the explorer window. There's no reason I should have to expand a column to see the complete file name when the columns don't take the full width of the pane.

As long as it doesn't mess with Cakewalk and my plugins,  Windows 11 and I will get along just fine.

This is my point of view also.  I am fine with a new Windows 11 as long as I can run my DAW and my plugins with stability.

There is no (full screen) welcome screen anymore. Instead you get something that's a cross between the Windows 7 start menu, and the Windows 8 welcome screen; a resizable panel that you can pin live tiles/app shortcuts to.

Availability of compatible hardware drivers would be the thing would bother me more.

I do agree with you.  I just realized that I have a Roland/Edirol PCR800 and remember the problems we had hacking the driver so it would work with Windows 10.  I just found that old thread and have bookmarked it in case we need to hack the driver again so that it will work with Windows 11.

Sorry - my bad... I forgot because either I turned it off when I upgraded many years ago, or it's off by default.

There is a setting to get a full-screen start menu. Don't know if it's exactly like the Windows 8 one, but you can still full-screen the start, and live tiles still work on it.
