Windows 11?

[Magma]

WinME - the king of Blue Screen ...Windows 3.1... was the best... before that I was using the shell of DR-DOS (the big enemy of MS-DOS)

Anyone remember... the tries to use the "extended" memory up from the limit of 640KB??? and send the OS to a higher memory of 64KB... himem.sys, emm386, qemu?

we had problems for nothing... oldie goldie ages..

You've discussed whether W11 will work on your pc and how to check. You also talked about the Android emulator and how to make it work.

My question is: Is it necessary to migrate to W11? What benefits will it bring?

I think the most important is the security and the upgradeability (the updates will not stop at 2025)... every new system is more secure than the old...

but I will wait one more year... at least...

every new system is more secure than the old...

Are you sure? Because every new version there are new security bugs.
They solve one and create 5 ... this from my experience

@Star-Dust no I am not sure... I know that from first hand /// my new mistakes every time programming

Windows98, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11

Ohh, right... Was a short trip with WinME

Ah - you missed out W2000 [maybe their best - that was].

You can test whether your softwares or apps are supported or not on this new OS. ?

Anyone remember... the tries to use the "extended" memory up from the limit of 640KB??? and send the OS to a higher memory of 64KB... himem.sys, emm386,

I used to edit the autoexec.bat or winsys sort of files to run MSDOS games.

Because every new version there are new security bugs.

I just concern about drivers compatibility. It happened during my upgrade from Win7 to Win10 for a HP laptop.

Win2k is server OS. There are WinNT, Win Server 2003, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2019, 2022, etc.

 

[rabbitBUSH]

Win2k is server OS.

Nope - trust me ?? ran it on several PCs it was just straight OS - had other server machines with the numbers you quoted above.....

Win2k is server OS

As I remember it it was marketed. and intended as such but was popular as a desktop OS as it was very stable and reliable.

I believe the license must be more expensive and targeted for companies who can afford.
Of course it can run on PCs but it may not suitable especially due to hardware drivers, software support and user interface design.

Win2000 was a server os like win nt... was the continue.. better than xp... but wasn't consumer product

BTW what is the experience of B4X ide and compilation, deploy etc. on Win11 ?

 

[rbghongade]

Sharing my experience with Windows 11:
( Got it pre-installed on my new Inspiron 16 plus)
1)B4X (B4A,B4J,B4R )works flawlessly : using Java 8
2)MQTT works fine
3) Many EDA tools work fine
One month usage and no crashes so far.
I have used Windows 7 before shifting to Windows 11.

..running on ThinkStation P340 core i9 - it came with Windows 10 but I upgraded to Windows 11 (zero problems, totally automatic).
So far everything seems to work well, no crashes or incompatibilities. B4A, VS2019 all good.
Last week I got the Windows Subsystem for Android running (following the instructions elsewhere on this forum) - pretty straightforward.
Works well with B4A - my apps worked first time.

Win2000 was a server os like win nt

W2000 (Desktop minimal refer to Server but it was in family)

 

[Mashiane]

After such a long, eye opening relationship. I am no longer interested in you. After some sleepless nights, numerous crashes, almost heart stopping episodes. We are done!!! I'm going back to my ex.

I've recently updated my main computer to Windows 11. As I like my taskbar to be on the right side, I've installed an alternative taskbar named StartAllBack. It works very good.

Other than it is quite similar to Windows 10.

 

[rabbitBUSH]

I'm going back to my ex.

You sure your ex wants you back - esp. If you are reading for a new line of attraction - LINUX is beautiful.

This is really annoying. Not sure anyone has the same experience as mine. Every time I log in to Windows after shutting down, my desktop icons appear not as before I shut down my Windows.

Edit: Changing the regedit entry doesn't work for me. So I "fixed" the problem by downgrading the screen resolution from 1366 x 768 to 1280 x 720.

 

[rabbitBUSH]

This is really annoying.

At the risk of missing your point (and or the innuendo) this is where W10 hides the setting. Right click desktop turn off Auto Arrange. Etc.
