Windows 10 was, compared to earlier offerings (Windows Millennium Edition, Windows Vista, and Windows 8) a near-perfect release.

Over time, Microsoft has corrected the development issues. And then, instead of ramping up support, it did the opposite: people calling for help got a busy signal instead of help, effectively destroying the excellent job the marketing team had done. It made changes between the beta and release candidates that made the final product worse than the beta. Microsoft hadn’t yet realized it needed to deal with out-of-control PC complexity and diversity. That was both the best and worst of Microsoft’s OS launches - best because the marketing team did its job so well people were lined up around the block to buy it (back then you paid for OS upgrades), worst because the development and support side screwed up the process. It’s funny, and a little sad, how Microsoft approaches new OS releases now, compared to when it brought out Windows 95.

Let’s look at why it may finally be time to deploy Windows 11. Now, with Windows 11’s latest update in place, it looks as if this latest version of the OS is ready for the limelight.
