![]() ![]() I guess left just makes a lot more sense to me, coming from a western, left-to-right perspective. I just never really thought of putting on the right because kind of used to seeing Ubuntu’s layout. The Touch keyboard no longer supports docked and undocked layouts on screen sizes 18 inches and larger. The Windows 11 taskbar does not offer My People, which was previously deprecated, and it can now only be aligned to the bottom of the screen. The all-new Windows 11 Start menu no longer supports live tiles, groups, folders, pinned apps, or pinned sites. The Snipping Tool is available in Windows 10, but it looks and works like Snip & Sketch. S mode will only be available in Windows 11 Home edition going forward. Despite just shipping in Windows 10, News & Interests is being replaced by the new Widgets feature in Windows 11. The Math Input Panel is removed and the Math Recognizer will be installed on demand (and includes the math input control and recognizer). Quick Status is begin removed from the lock screen. Internet Explorer is disabled in Windows 11 (but not removed?). Windows 11 will not roam desktop wallpaper from PC to PC when you sign in with a Microsoft account. Cortana won’t blow out your eardrums during Setup’s first boot experience and it will no longer be pinned to the taskbar. “When upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 or when installing an update to Windows 11, some features may be deprecated or removed,” Microsoft notes. I want the remaining 10% features.Today, Microsoft revealed which familiar Windows 10 features are being removed or deprecated in Windows 11. ![]() Apple iOS and Android aren't bad operating systems, but they only get me 90% there. I also believe that is why Samsung is working hard on a Windows 8 tablet themselves, because even Samsung sees the potential behind a full touch-enabled version of Windows with no limitations. If I was using a Windows 8 tablet I'm sure the RTE editor would work just fine. While the mobile interface is OK, I want the full features sported by Outlook, which Microsoft has said will support Skype calling at some point as seen here:īecause both iOS and Android are "limiting" in offering FULL Windows app support, some browser plugins, Silverlight, Adobe Flash (iOS only), I truly believe the Microsoft Surface tablet will be an iPad and Android tablet killer. So what does this mean? Well for one, it means I have to stick with the mobile version of Hotmail/Outlook. I'm sure if I tried a tablet like my iPad or an Android tablet I'd have the same problem. It too wouldn't allow me to type in the message body. Next, I tried Android - using a Samsung Galaxy Note. I was able to send the email with my Subject text, but no message body. Nope, it keeps RTE and doesn't allow me to switch. I even clicked Options and chose Plain Text, thinking maybe if I disable the RTE, that might work. Then I clicked the Rich Text Editor (RTE) field and no keyboard popped up. Next, you can click the Subject field and enter a Subject. Yes, you can type a contact's name, but it won't auto-search and match your contacts - so you have to type the entire email address manually. Naturally, I wanted to see if this new UI would work on my Apple iPhone 4S. I upgraded it to the new version and played with it on my desktop. Of course, once I heard about the new look for Hotmail, I immediately logged into my rarely used Hotmail account to try it out. The close Microsoft / Facebook relationship is paying off since the new Hotmail features direct Facebook chatting, importing of Facebook friends' email addresses, pulls pictures, etc. But for new users you have the option of choosing a address. The new Hotmail is being offered on, though you can upgrade your existing Hotmail email address as well. Who wouldn't want a consistent UI across multiple devices? It lessens the learning curve, builds instant familiarity, and a strong emotional attachment. This investment could pay long dividends for Microsoft. Sporting a Metro-like UI it is quite apparent that Microsoft is dedicating serious resources on a unified user interface that is the same no matter if you're using a laptop/PC, Windows Phone, Xbox 360, or Windows 8 tablet. So the big news today is the revamped Hotmail, which is a dramatic improvement over the old version in terms of design aesthetics as well as usability. ![]()
