<p><font size="5">All,</font></p>
<p><font size="5">As I am in the process of finishing the
presentation for Windows 11 for the group, and I am wondering if
anybody has any requests regarding specific Windows 11 features
you are particularly interested in seeing or learning about.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">There will be a demo of how to install Android
software via WSA - Windows Subsystem For Android. There aren't a
lot of Android programs that you would want to run on windows.
However, for example, I like to play the game backgammon and
there's a very nice backgammon game on Android and rather than
playing it on my cell phone I can play against somebody else on
the Internet on my laptop. Google makes a very nice Android
photo editor called Snapseed. Rather than running it on your
cell phone, you can run it full screen on windows and
edit/enhance your photos. These are just two examples that I
will show.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I will very briefly mention the LSW - Linux
Subsystem For Windows. My default installation is Ubuntu Linux.
<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I can't demo Apple products, but Microsoft has
recently added support for the iphone in addition to Android
phones for connectivity.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">File Explorer and Notepad have new features that
are long overdue.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Voice recognition has been enhanced a little bit
thanks to Microsoft's acquisition of Nuance. Although, there is
still a long way to go.</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Microsoft's acquisition of the voice recognition
company Nuance has made inroads into improvement for voice
recognition in Windows 11. It's not dragon naturally speaking,
but it is really good for writing email and most importantly
online chat technical support which is becoming more and more
prevalent. It's a lot easier to talk to your computer when
dealing with a remote technician over chat.</font><font size="5"></font></p>
<p><font size="5">We'll see what is referred to as "God Mode". It
may not be godly only, it is an easy way to access a lot of
functionality that people often need but don't know how to
locate. It puts a lot of windows customization features at your
fingertips. Say you want to change what happens when you insert
a USB flash drive into a port. You may not know where in windows
now that feature is, only it is right in front of you in the God
mode window.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I'll also show off a few features from the power
toys software kit from Microsoft. One of its most
powerful/useful features is the ability to OCR text in a picture
or file you can't select/copy on the screen and convert it into
regular text. This applies to both Windows 10 and 11.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="5">Google has a new, (still in beta) feature for
Windows that adds Android's default nearby sharing feature to
Windows computers, so you can easily transfer text, hyperlinks,
and downloads from Android to Windows. I'll give you a quick
demo of a similar product that works across all platforms
including the iphone, so you can share photos from the iphone to
Windows for example with very quick access and transfer. You can
open a web browser window on your cell phone and pass it off to
your Windows computer and continue reading.<br>
</font></p>
<p><br>

<p><font size="5">Of course, I'll be covering some pleasant changes
MS has made over the last 2 years from customer feedback. One of
those is pinning applications to the taskbar by dragging them to
the taskbar.</font></p>
