Microsoft announces Windows 11, with a new design, Start menu, and more

Windows 11 will also include support for running Android apps for the first time.The first thing you’ll notice about Windows 11 is that it includes a new Start menu and updated Start button that are both centered on the taskbar. Much of the centered appearance is clearly influenced by macOS and Chrome OS, and Windows 11 also includes the rounded corners we’ve seen in both Android and iOS.Windows chief Panos Panay says “the team has obsessed over every detail.” Windows 11 will also include updated dark and light modes that look a lot better than what we’ve seen in Windows today.There’s also something Microsoft is calling Snap Layouts, which allow you to quickly snap apps into the various modes that Windows 11 supports. This also includes xCloud integrated into this Xbox app, so you can stream games from Microsoft’s cloud, too.Finally, one of the biggest parts of Windows 11 is the new store and support for Android apps on Windows.
