Microsoft announces Windows 11, generally available by the holidays
https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/24/microsoft-announces-windows-11-generally-available-by-the-holidays/
Microsoft today officially announced Windows 11, the next version of its desktop operating system.
Microsoft plans to release Windows 11 to the general public by the holidays, so we can probably expect it sometime around late November.
You will now also be able to run Android apps on Windows. These apps will seem like native apps that can be integrated into the taskbar.
Windows 11 will come with Teams built-in.
Microsoft promises better graphics for gaming thanks to Auto HDR, a feature that’s already available on Xbox.

Not a fan of AI? A recent Windows update can actually remove Microsoft’s Copilot assistant from the OS.
As the company promotes generative AI to the public, Redmond accidentally introduced a software bug last week that can delete the Copilot program from PCs running Windows 10 or 11.
The problem affects the March 11th updates for both operating systems. “We’re aware of an issue with the Microsoft Copilot app affecting some devices. The app is unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned from the taskbar,” the company wrote in the support pages.
In a bit of irony though, some Windows users have said “I wish this wasn’t a bug” after learning that Microsoft has been mistakenly deleting the Copilot app.
“Amazing, Microsoft fixes their own bloat,” joked one user on Reddit. “Finally a good feature,” wrote another.

Microsoft warns IT admins that Windows Server 2025 is the last edition to support WINS
https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-warns-it-admins-that-windows-server-2025-is-the-last-edition-to-support-wins/
Microsoft regularly deprecates and eventually removes legacy components from Windows SKUs, typically due to security issues, low usage, or the presence of better alternatives. One such example is WINS, which Microsoft announced as deprecated back with Windows Server 2022, and now, it has published a support article clearly outlining the plans for the component.
For those unaware, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is Microsoft’s name resolution service that was introduced back in 1994 with Windows NT 3.5. Over time, its user base has collapsed drastically, since modern networks don’t use it and typically rely on Domain Name System (DNS) as the modern alternative.
