आ गए राम!

आ गए राम!

मन की ड्योढ़ी पर. 

तनिक ठहरो ,

नयन अश्रु की अंजलि से,

पखार लूँ तुम्हारे पाँव। 

आ गए मेरे राम। 

देखो इन गलियों को,

सजी हैं नयन पसारे। 

तनिक देखो,

नव-वधु सी तुलसी के क्यार,

मचल रही सज जाने को तेरे थाल। 

आ गए राम,

मेरी कुटिया में। 

मैं शबरी तो नहीं,

सजा दूँ राह फूलों से,

चख कर दूँ मीठे बेर। 

ना ही अहिल्या सी,

तर जाऊँ तुम्हारे चरणों से। 

मैं तो,

उलझी हुई सी,

एक दासी हूँ तुम्हारी। 

सुलझा दो मेरे राम!

आ गए राम,

ठहर ही जाना।

Why Windows 11?

---

Microsoft is going to release next version of Windows, ie Windows 11 on 5th October. The question is why Windows 11? Why not a new feature update of Windows 10? When windows 10 was released by Microsoft, it was stated that this will be the last version of windows. Then what has changed so that a new version is being released? Let us try to find out.

Incompatibility from previous versions

May be Microsoft wanted to make the its OS more secure by using new technologies like TPM 2.0, which are not found in older computers. One solution could have been to make it optional, so that PCs having these chips can use them and older PCs can do without this security. This strategy is already being used in windows 10. Windows hello uses the available hardware for its features. If hardware is not compatible, the feature is simply disabled. But this time, probably Microsoft decided to go tough on security front. So it made mandatory the use of TPM 2.0. But at the same time, it has to support older PCs also. So, a concious decision was made to launch a new windows version with these features. All the existing compatible PCs will be upgraded free of charge to the next version, while PCs not compatible will continue to use windows 10 without the new security features.

UI Fatigue!

May be Microsoft is suffering from UI fatigue. The same UI from a long time has become a sort of monotonous. They wanted to bring something fresh. That is why, they decided to make a new release after so many years of feature update cycles.

Create a new Buzz!

May be Microsoft wanted to create a new buzz around its windows OS. From so many years, the buzz has virtually died around windows. This is due to the absence of new releases. Feature updates do happen and do bring new features to the existing version, but it does not create the buzz and excitement that builds around a new version release. This can be understood from the google android model. The difference between the buzz that it gets on the launch of new major version vs release of minor versions is obvious. That is why Microsoft is back with its old avatar of releasing new versions with new look and new logo.

Whatever be the reason, we are waiting for stable release of next version of windows and coming weeks seem to be exciting!

Windows 11 is coming. Download leaked online.

---

Microsoft is going to release a new version of it’s flagship operating system Windows. After nearly a decade of the release of Windows 10, Microsoft is going to release Windows 11. Previously, it was believed that Windows 10 will be the final version of Windows, and any improvement what so ever will be done through as it’s feature update. But now an early build of Windows 11 has been leaked online and many people have reviewed it. One such review is here.

As shown, this build features a new start menu, new Icons and a host of improved UI features. But most of the internal mechanisms still appear to be similar to Windows 10. This is still an early build so may be not many new features have been yet included. May be the final build will be much cleaner and feature rich than this one.

When will Windows 11 be released?

There is yet no date announced for release of Windows 11, but it is believed that the release may be in the second half of 2021.

How to install the Windows 11 build?

There is still no official build of Windows 11. So, you will not be able to install it as of now. Although, a leaked build is available on various sites, but still it is recommended not to install it on your system. This is an incomplete build and can harm your computer.

What next?

Microsoft has announced an event on 24th June. On this day, some more info may come regarding the way ahead in this regard. Following is the tweet for this announcement.
