Microsoft's Windows 11 Report Card: Progress Made, But Still Room for Improvement
Microsoft's Windows 11 has been in the spotlight for its promised improvements, and six months after its release, it's time to evaluate the company's progress. In March, Microsoft made a bold promise: to make Windows 11 faster, more reliable, and less eager to shove AI-powered features into every corner of the operating system.
According to PCWorld's report card, Microsoft has done a decent job in putting Copilot back in its lane, making search feel noticeably faster, and reducing noise in the operating system. However, some areas still need improvement, such as the Start menu, which remains unchanged from March.
One of the most significant changes is the way Copilot is now used more thoughtfully throughout Windows 11. Gone are the days when AI was everywhere; instead, it's been corralled into specific applications where it makes sense. This change might be a step in the right direction for those who feel overwhelmed by AI-powered features.
