-aOur commitment to Windows quality
Hello Windows Insiders,
I want to speak to you directly, as an engineer who has spent his
career building technology that people depend on every day. Windows
touches more people's lives than almost any technology on Earth. Every
day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows. And
over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal
of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of
people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.
Today, IrCOm sharing what we are doing in response. Here are some of the initial changes we will preview in builds with Windows Insiders this
month and throughout April.
Windows 11 desktops with the taskbar positioned vertically on the
bottom, top, left and right side of the screen.
More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks werCOve heard from you.
We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of
your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.
Integrating AI where itrCOs most meaningful, with craft and focus
You will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot
integrates across Windows, focusing on experiences that are genuinely
useful and wellrCacrafted. As part of this, we are reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos,
Widgets and Notepad.
Reducing disruption from Windows Updates Receiving updates should be predictable and easy to plan around, so werCOre giving you more control. This includes the ability to skip updates during device setup to get
to the desktop faster, restart or shut down without installing updates
and pause updates for longer when needed, all while reducing update
noise with fewer automatic restarts and notifications.
Faster and more dependable File Explorer File Explorer is one of the
most used surfaces in Windows. Our first round of improvements will
focus on a quicker launch experience, reduced flicker, smoother
navigation and more reliable performance for everyday file tasks.
More control over widgets and feed experiences Widgets should feel
helpful and relevant, not distracting or overwhelming. WerCOre
introducing quieter defaults, more control over when and how widgets
appear, and improved personalization for the Discover feed.
A simpler, more transparent Windows Insider Program The Windows
Insider Program is how you help shape the future of Windows, and it
should be easy to understand what to expect and how to participate. We
are implementing changes to make it easier for you to navigate with
clearer channel definitions, easier access to new features, higher
quality builds, better visibility into how your feedback shapes
Windows and more opportunities to engage directly with us.
Improved Feedback Hub, available starting today Your feedback is
essential to improving Windows, and it should be easy to share and see
what others are saying. Today, werCOre rolling out the largest update to Feedback Hub yet to our Insiders, with a redesigned experience that
makes it faster and easier to submit feedback and engage with the
community.
Feedback Hub app in Windows 11 showing the redesigned home screen and
new feedback form.
Building on these changes, what follows below is our broader plan and
areas of focus for the year to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality.
The work is underway. You can expect to see tangible progress that
yourCOll be able to feel as you preview builds from us throughout the
rest of the year.
Last night I had the chance to sit down with a small group of Windows Insiders here in Seattle to listen, to answer questions and to share
more about where we're headed. The Seattle meetup was the first of
several stops our team will be making to engage in person, in more
cities around the world, to connect with the Windows community.
Thank you for holding us to a high standard. Windows is as much yours
as it is ours. WerCOre committed to strengthening its foundation and delivering innovation where it matters, for you.
Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of
Windows together.

Manufacturer Linux Offerings
Companies like Dell provide Linux-preloaded options mainly for
developers and enterprises (e.g., XPS Developer Edition with Ubuntu),
while Lenovo certifies ThinkPads for Linux.
HP focuses Linux on workstations (Z series) rather than consumer
laptops, and no mainstream shift to Linux defaults for budget models
is confirmed.
Specialist vendors like System76 and Star Labs sell Linux-first PCs,--- Synchronet 3.21f-Linux NewsLink 1.2
ideal if you're seeking them in Australia.
