INFO-TECH RESEARCH GROUP
About this episode

Windows 11 is here! Because it just makes sense. And we're here again to tell you the highlights of the main event. Last week we gave you a preview of what to expect from the new release. Now that Microsoft has given us the official presentation, we have some new details to dig into. And to help me do that, I'm joined by two Info-Tech Analysts that are fresh off watching the event. We have infrastructure practice lead John Annand, and we have senior research analyst Ken Weston.

Key discussion points:

- Android apps coming to Windows

- Microsoft Store and a new deal for developers

- A stumbling block in the upgrade path

- Microsoft Teams integration
