Call Computer Wiz for Help with the New Windows 11

Microsoft recently unveiled the latest version of its all-important Windows operating system. Windows 11 comes at a time of newfound importance for laptops and desktop computers — a time when many people are working from home.

Windows 11


Employees who began working remotely at the onset of the pandemic have snatched up PCs in the last year at an incredible clip, with IDC estimating that Q1 global shipments grew by 55.2% year-over-year to 84 million units. And the best-selling brands included Lenovo, Dell, and HP, all of which run on Windows.

That’s a good number of new and returning users Microsoft is going to have to impress, or at least not annoy, with its latest iteration of Windows. But Windows 11 is going to have to do more than just please your average customer.

Developers will be key

The Microsoft Store is an “also ran” compared to the likes of Apple’s (AAPL) App Store or Google’s Play Store. But the company is putting more emphasis on its app marketplace to lure developers away from its biggest competitors.

During his keynote at the company’s Build conference last month, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the company is making big changes to Windows for developers. “We will create more opportunity for every Windows developer today and welcome every creator who is looking for the most innovative, new, open platform to build and distribute and monetize applications,” Nadella said.

That last part could bring more developers to Microsoft’s own Windows Store platform. While Apple and Google have angered developers over their 30% app store revenue share, Microsoft has cut its revenue share for games from 30% to 12%. And since games make up the majority of sales on app stores, that’s a big deal.

But Microsoft will have to make its store as appealing to consumers as the App Store or Google Play. And since you can already install apps on PCs outside of the Microsoft Store without paying fees, Microsoft is going to have to break out the big guns if it’s going to convince developers to offer their products through the portal.

Unfortunately, while we’ve gotten a glimpse of a leaked version of Windows 11 thanks to The Verge’s Tom Warren, the same can’t be said of the Microsoft Store. That means we’ll have to wait until Thursday to find out if Microsoft has what it takes to turn its platform into one capable of taking on the leaders in the space.

Gamers need some love

Microsoft has leaned into gaming thanks to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, which allows you to play roughly 100 games as much as you want across multiple devices.

And while the Xbox Series X and Series S are certainly important to the company’s gaming future, Windows PCs are still a major gaming platform for millions around the world. To that end, Microsoft is going to need to include updates that allow for improved gaming performance.

The company made major upgrades for gamers with the release of Windows 10, and with more gamers logging on to crash through the likes of “Fortnite” and “Call of Duty: Warzone,” Windows 11 will need to provide gamers with more benefits than ever before. Article from Verge.com
