Windows 11 ISO Leaks to the Web, New Start Screen, Mac-like Centered Dock, Rounded Edges
Alleged screenshots of Microsoft's upcoming operating system, the Windows 11, were leaked to the web ahead of its June 24 unveiling. The screenshots reveal a user interface that has several tie-ins with the current Windows 10, although enough is there to set it apart. For starters, the Start "menu" (if you can call it that), looks less like a menu, and more like a pop-out window with icons and actions, much like the macOS Finder. Icons pinned to the taskbar or open, are centered. The clock and system tray is still where it should be.
Windows Explorer features a familiar ribbon-type user interface, although there are changes to the icons. It's laid out exactly like in Windows 10. A thing to notice here is the window theme itself, which is single-tone, and with rounded edges. The "News and Interests" menu that surfaced in the recent Windows 10 update is more full-featured. User interface is only a fraction of what makes up a Windows major version, and Windows 11 is said to feature major under-the-hood changes, such as a new scheduler that's better suited for the upcoming hybrid x86 core processors from Intel and AMD.

I'm not a toddler. I need visual duplo blocks like I need an aneurysm: I hate that icon garbage. All it does is take up space on my screen and offers ZERO useful benefit. I may be called a Luddite who misses the command line, but come on... stop with the kindergarten BS already!

They will just say it has many more security fixes so everyone buys it.
I said in the other thread I hope there is a small icons option for taskbar as they are huge, and yeah I agree on your padding comment as well.Ouch "use small taskbar icons" has gone.
Those are way too big, right now I have 78 icons on my taskbar, I multitask heavily.
It will be available here:

I certainly don't multitask heavily, I start feeling lost when I have more than ~10 things open, including all windows, all browser tabs, windows in RDP sessions, everything.
Anyway, long story short, I checked my bios and it has option for TPM. Selection is firmware TPM and discrete TPM. When it was on discrete TPM, naturally, windows 11 installation prompt that it cannot be installed due to TPM 2.0 not present. But when I choose firmware TPM, didnt get the error.
So check out your mobo bios if there are options of TPM before doing all the "work arounds" that is floating around the web if you decide to install windows 11. If you are curious, my mobo is x570 Asus Crosshair Viii Hero with 3900 XT
Will be installing this weekend on my desktop
