Dave, I'm on the Insider DEV Channel for Windows 10, and (I think) Sunday when I checked for updates, it gave me Windows 11. I was kinda surprised and shocked, because I had no idea . . .Apart from the "leaked" windows 11, I would be grateful if you guys could tell me from what legitimate source you are downloading Windows 11, as I am anxious to try it.
Apparently there have been optimizations to the kernel since late 2019 as 21H2 on the Dev Channel, the UI/taskbar was brought in from the cancelled Windows 10X and is (speculated to be) modular. So they can patch the UI as an Experience Update and do kernel/build updates separately. Thus, some are claiming the build itself is RTM, but I think this remains to be seen if that's truly the case.Dave, I'm on the Insider DEV Channel for Windows 10, and (I think) Sunday when I checked for updates, it gave me Windows 11.

I checked my HP Intel Lappy, and it said it could run Windows 11, so I joined it to Insider DEV Channel, and waited awhile to check for updates. I'm now running Windows 11 on it too.
I gotta say this is about the weirdest Update I've ever seen. At first, I was so shocked, I almost did a clean install, but as I dig deeper, I'm not seeing all that much change, except for the userX. Which sux!
No, this is clearly marked as an Insider Preview. It is not RTM. That should come sometime near the end of 2021 or first part of 2022.Apparently there have been optimizations to the kernel since late 2019 as 21H2 on the Dev Channel, the UI/taskbar was brought in from the cancelled Windows 10X and is (speculated to be) modular.

Yes but it also serves a business purpose so I think it is debatable to how much security it serves. With past CPU exploits you could just patch the CPU microcode and thats the end of that problem (Meltdown+Spectre). I don't see how locking out all CPUs prior to a certain generation ensures security.Leaving out older processors is also enhancing security, is not it?
