Anything would be an improvement over Steggle.

Windows 11...anyone upgraded or know anything about it ?, I usually wait till the user jury post the pros and cons in consumer reviews etc before I take the plunge with upgrades.
It is a free upgrade at the minute I believe but if its no great improvement and more big brother add ons from Microsoft then I might pass...

I wouldn't go just yet, it's very early.

Many will also find that at the moment it won't even install on laptops that are only two years old, requires quite a new hardware with the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 enabled. However, there are rumours they will extend the range of compatible hardware further down the track, they will probably have to because nobody is going to dump a laptop or desktop that is only 2 years old just to get the newest version of Windows.

Another problem, is that some of the pre-existing existing software is not yet 100% compatible, I've been reading a lot of websites discussing the upgrade / rollback cycle where people have upgraded only to find they had to immediately downgrade to get some program they want to use working again.

Thanks LP, think I will take your advice and use the old rule of if its working then don't fix it..

Can back up largely what LP is stating above with one minor difference.

A lot of older hardware (those with a tradition BIOS and inability to run UEFI) are not going to be compatible with windows 11.  The whole reason windows 11 has come into existence is to do with cyber security (or a cynic would state a way to make a lot of money).  The UEFI model runs inconjunction with the TPM security module in order to deliver much greater security to hardware and software, and prevent devices from running what is known as a root kit (long story short, something that bypasses windows before it starts).

Its still early doors, but the whole model is trying to cut off ransomware at the delivery mechanism, rather than reactively fixing encrypted computers.  The problem is real, if your hardware isnt compatible, then windows 11 isnt going to be worth the upgrade unless we have a remarkable difference in how things operate moving forward, but I dont believe that will be the case.

We have installed it on a virtual machine at work for testing its capabilities and thus far from my limited use (only a few minutes of pointing and clicking) if windows and IOS had a baby, you would result in windows 11.

The start bar, is going down the bottom in a very mac way of operating. 

How freaking stupid are smokers?

Flubbo is apparently in the media claiming it wasn't the decades of durries that led to his health problems it was his blood sugar.

FFS, what a moron, what utter denial!

If you have smoked for two or three decades, pretty much every health condition you have or are likely to have is made far worse by the durries, end of story!

Blood sugar is a symptom, not a cause.



Durries, junk food, grog, limited exercise, not enough sleep, getting upset when your footy team is done for drug cheating would all contribute to high blood sugar levels.  However, I understand that Robinson is a Type 1 diabetic and I think that he has acknowledged that his lifestyle and attitude have played a major role in his health problems.
