I have to admit, this does look great - have we broken the alternate release curse? ?

Small updates that happen in the background is a great things to see. The new look is impressive. Interested to hear about how it is "more secure".

Watching, but....
It seems to be buffering a lot.
Testing my connection


So it's probably not on my end.

What I've managed to actually watch so far looks promising, and....

Windows 11

I'm having good luck with the live twitter link, so might be worth trying that

Biggest surprise so far - Android apps direct on Windows 11.

Seeing some speculation as to a release date suggesting not until sometime in October.

Most surprising, at least to me, is that this has received no attention at all with respect to the so called "Windows Insider" program.

I would think that they would want at least a brief preview stage to get an idea as to how it's going to behave on various hardware platforms.

I was not able to watch it unfortunately but so far I will have to get newer hardware to be able to participate in that (even the Insider stages).
