Microsoft are hosting a livestream this afternoon that will officially unveilWindows 11, the next operating system in a line of operating systems named after an opening that lets in a passage of light, air, and flies.

The Windows 11 reveal stream is going live at 11am ET, which is 4pm BST for those of us in the UK. You can watch it over on Microsoft’sevent page.

Technically, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Windows 11. Only a couple of weeks ago,an early build of the OS leaked onlineand folks had a poke around its innards.

A new icon in the Windows 11 taskbar also suggests Windows Widgets are making a return. Click on it, and you’ll see a panel slide out with boxes on the weather and the news and other things. Hang on a second, aren’t these just Live Tiles stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat?

I have come to realise I much prefer rounded corners to the harshness of a sharp edge.

Honestly, I’ll probably be happy with most Windows 11 changes, or largely indifferent. So long as they’re not going down the sash route. I had sash windows in my old place and yes they looked nice, but my god did it get cold in the winter.
