The rumors around Windows 11 continue to come to light, although until Thursday of next week they will not be more than that, rumors. Google has also had its share of problems in recent hours in the wake of a new zero-day crash that is putting its users’ computers at risk. But this is not the only thing that we find to be the end of the week, there is still more!
Windows 11 on mobile? Why not
Windows and mobiles have never quite gotten along. Not from the PDAs with those versions of Windows 5 and Windows 6 so attractive and that worked so badly, to the resounding failures of Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile. Nothing has been able to compete against Android and iOS.
Blame the hardware? From the software? Of the monopoly? In all this time, all kinds of culprits have been sought for the failure of these devices. However, it seems that because of the hardware, in the end, it will not be. And it is that users have managed to install the new Windows 11 in a Lumia 950XL . And it looks great!
In Windows 11 there are still remnants of Windows 3.1
Since we have been able to get hold of the new Windows we have said that it is nothing more than a 10 with a different desktop theme. And, although Microsoft has included the odd change, we are still facing one more version of the current system. Yes, it will even be free to update!
But, despite the great aesthetic change that this new OS has, with its new interface, rounded corners, new start and new buttons, there are still traces of its past. And, as a Reddit user has posted , it is still possible to find remnants of Windows 3.1 on this system.
This shows terrible sloppiness on the part of Microsoft. If we can still find these things with the naked eye, what is there not below?
Visual Studio 2022 appears for the first time
Any developer of programs, tools and platforms for Windows makes use of Visual Studio. This is Microsoft’s official programming IDE with which to get the most out of the operating system. The company is constantly working to improve this programming environment and bring developers the latest functions, APIs, and features that allow them to improve their programs. And, starting today, the first preview of Visual Studio 2022 is available.
Among others, the main novelties that we are going to find in this new version are a native executable for 64 bits (no compatibility), improvements in IntelliCode that can now auto-complete complete lines of code and the latest .NET 6 SDKs .
Next week, in addition to the new Windows 11, Microsoft has a developer conference planned. Then we can learn more about what will come with this new version of the IDE. Of course, being a preview version we recommend using it only in test environments, not in production, since it can give us problems and harm our work.
