Don't like the new Windows 11 Start or Taskbar? Don't worry – Microsoft's got your back

Been part of the dev build as soon as it was available and have had no major issues so far..

Its basically just a re-skinned Win 10 with some additional features added on.. I am pretty sure this was just going to be one of the standard Win 10 feature updates until a Marketing guy seen it and went ooo lets call it Windows 11.

But it runs fine, mainly use it for gaming and not had issues with any games either. I do have a brand new system tho so don't have to worry about old hardware.

Great reset? More like Fake Reset: Leaders need a reality check if they think their best staff will give up hybrid work

Re: You can't expect to be paid "big city" salary

But that is fine right that extra Money you get for working in the Big office in London or whatever is just wasted on travel costs and other expenses every day.. so in reality you don't have any extra cash.

You just have a much better work/life balance as no need to get up early to travel for 2 hours on a cramped train or sat stuck in traffic polluting the world.

Any companies that are not looking into bringing in a Hybrid working environment will loose a lot of key staff moving to companies that have embraced the new style of working.

Its already started to happen as some companies are trying to force their staff back to the office.. but people have realised they no longer need to be getting up every day at 6 in the morning to commute to work and back just to do their job, a lot of jobs can be done just as well from home if not better and you also get the benefit of a healthier work/life balance.

Its not for everyone some people enjoy going to the office every day and its why companies should look at the Hybrid approach..

Re: Going on-site has certainly been made redundant in IT

Someone always says this to try and scare people..

If would have been moved already if that is what the company wanted to do.

Re: Flexibility is key.

Would be worth the Salary cut really..

Most of that extra Salary would be going towards travelling to get to work and then home again and also other expenses.. so its not like you actually have any extra money.

Apple iPad

Nothing really new here..

HP and many other have been making tablets for years, maybe XP tablet edition was not very good but the hardware has been there for a long time.. now with windows 7 the tablet manufacturers that have been maknig them for years will start releasing new ones designed aronud win 7 then we will see a proper tablet...

ODF's doomed mission to break into Microsoft Office

well

From what I can remember abotu the last time I used open office, it came up with a very similar message if you tried to save documents in the microsoft format (.doc, .xls and so on) so why is it ok for open office to do this but not microsoft ?

Same with IE, why did microsoft get slapped with a massive fine because they package IE as part as the OS... I am sure apple do the same with their OS it has been a number of years since I have used it but im sure they only had their browser as an option? Same with linux recently installed the latest versino of Fedora and it had FIrefox installed as default..

So I vote to fine Apple and the creators of certain linux builds exactly the same amount as Microsoft.
