Microsoft Windows 11
Windows 11 boasts a streamlined, refreshed interface and a suite of features aimed at enhancing productivity and user experience. Key enhancements include Snap Layouts and Snap Groups, which facilitate multitasking and management of open windows, especially when combined with virtual desktops, thus allowing users to separate personal apps from work apps more efficiently. Another significant step towards better productivity is the reduced frequency and file size of feature updates – there’s only one major update per year, and the size of the updates is much smaller than those of Windows 10, which minimizes the time wasted on idle waiting.
Under the hood, Windows 11 differs from Windows 10 with its optimized performance, improved touch gestures, and better support for hybrid work environments. Windows 11 also offers a more robust security framework in comparison with its predecessors and requires a TPM 2.0 chip, reflecting a stronger stance on hardware security.
