Windows 11 Enterprise Overview
Windows 11. The main part of this announcement should be the presentation of a significant UI change codenamed Sun Valley. As we know, a significant part of the UX changes will be carried over by the Windows 10X shell and Windows 10X will not be launched. Now, as expected, the information leak about Windows 11 begins.
Key Features of Windows 11 Enterprise
Windows 11 will get a completely new design. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to reverse its previous claims and abandon Windows 10 anyway by introducing a new OS number. And a completely new design is perfect for that. The Redmond giant has long been preparing a redesign for an update under the code name Sun Valley (“Sun Valley”) – apparently, this was the name under which Windows 11 existed. The Sun Valley project has been appearing on the network for quite some time – Microsoft has regularly disclosed the details of the new interface style, industry insiders have shared previously unknown information, and designers popular in their circles have drawn realistic concepts based on all this data. Start and system items float above the bottom bar. Start is the business card and face of every current version of Windows. It is not surprising that in Windows 11 the developers are going to redesign it again, but not so much in terms of functionality as in terms of appearance: the start window floats above the bottom bar. We must admit that this small change makes the system look much cooler. Judging by the information from the network, Microsoft is not going to radically change the “internals” of this menu – the innovations will only affect the design of the window itself. The control panel will also be floating, and its design will be exactly the same as that of “Start”. The Action Center will be combined with control keys – a similar one has long been used in some other operating systems. Almost all mentions of this new menu indicate that it will be an island: control keys will be placed on a separate panel, notifications on another, and certain elements (like a player) on another.
Right angles will disappear, they will be replaced
from fittings. In fact, industry insiders and concept developers disagree on this point: some are sure that Microsoft will not change its traditions and will keep the right angle, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the fillet trend. The latter fits better with the definition of “completely new Windows”: moving menus is not enough for a new design to be considered truly new. The threads are expected to affect practically everything in the system, from context menus and system windows to all application windows. True, here too, the opinions of the concept developers differ: some draw lines in all possible interface elements, others combine them with right angles. There will be a translucent background with blur everywhere. There is disagreement on the Internet about the island style of the window design, the corner design and the floating effect of the menu, but almost everyone agrees about the transparency of the windows. The vast majority of leaks and design renderings show transparency and blur in all windows, be it at least in the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are also present in the assembly of the discontinued Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft developed in parallel with the Sun Valley project for devices with two screens and weak devices. The so-called acrylic transparency implies the use of new effects when hovering the mouse cursor over elements, as well as a larger distance between elements: the areas of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly become larger, and page titles will become thicker. New font, which has already been displayed. Windows 11 will most likely use the default responsive Segoe UI Variable font, which is already included in Windows 10 Build 21376 for Insiders.
