| '''Windows 11''' is the latest major release of [[Microsoft]]'s [[Windows NT]] [[operating system]], released in October 2021. It is a free upgrade to its predecessor, [[Windows 10]] (2015), available for any Windows 10 devices that meet the new Windows 11 system requirements. | | *Started in / Announced on: 2019 |

| | ==Technology== |
|
| |
|
| Windows 11 features major changes to the Windows [[Shell (computing)|shell]] influenced by the canceled [[Windows 10X]], including a redesigned [[Start menu]], the replacement of its "live tiles" with a separate "Widgets" panel on the [[taskbar]], the ability to create tiled sets of windows that can be minimized and restored from the [[taskbar]] as a group, and new gaming technologies inherited from [[Xbox Series X and Series S]] such as [[High-dynamic-range video|Auto HDR]] and [[DirectStorage]] on compatible hardware. [[Internet Explorer]] (IE) has been replaced by the [[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]]-based [[Microsoft Edge]] as the default web browser like its predecessor, [[Windows 10]], and [[Microsoft Teams]] is integrated into the Windows [[shell]]. Microsoft also announced plans to allow more flexibility in software that can be [[distributed]] via [[Microsoft Store]], and to support [[Android (operating system)|Android]] [[mobile app|apps]] on Windows 11 (including a partnership with [[Amazon Appstore|Amazon]] to make its [[app store]] available for the function).
| | ===How it worked=== |
|
| |
|
| Citing security considerations, the system requirements for Windows 11 were increased over Windows 10. Microsoft only officially supports the operating system on devices using an [[Coffee Lake|eighth-generation]] [[Intel Core]] CPU or newer (with some minor exceptions), [[Ryzen|AMD Ryzen]] CPU based on [[Zen+]] microarchitecture or newer, or a [[List of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors#Snapdragon 835, 850, 7c, 7c Gen 2, 8c, 8cx and 8cx Gen 2 5G|Qualcomm Snapdragon 850]] [[ARM architecture|ARM]] [[System on a chip|system-on-chip]] or newer, with [[UEFI secure boot]] and [[Trusted Platform Module]] (TPM) 2.0 supported and enabled (although Microsoft may provide exceptions to the TPM 2.0 requirement for OEMs). While the OS can be installed on unsupported processors, Microsoft does not guarantee the availability of [[Windows Update|updates]]. Windows 11 removed support for [[32-bit computing|32-bit]] [[x86]] CPUs and devices which use [[BIOS]] firmware.

| | ''"Vega claims to be building a capital-efficient [[decentralized]] [[derivatives]] trading protocol that would allow anyone to create and launch a derivatives market.'' |
| Windows 11 has received a widely polarized reception. Pre-release coverage of the operating system focused on its stricter hardware requirements, with discussions over whether they were legitimately intended to improve the security of Windows or as a ploy to [[upsell]] users to newer devices, and over [[e-waste]] associated with the changes. Upon release, it was praised for its improved visual design, window management, and a stronger focus on security, but was criticized for various modifications to aspects of its user interface which were seen as worse than its predecessor. As of May 2022, Windows 11 is the 2nd most popular Windows edition on Windows PCs in the United States, at 11%, and some other countries (also 2nd in North America as a whole and [[Oceania]]/Australia), while globally it remains 3rd on average (and in some countries 4th) after [[Windows 7]], far behind Windows 10, which stands at 77% in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Desktop Windows Version Market Share United States Of America |url=https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/united-states-of-america/#monthly-202105-202204 |access-date=2022-05-08 |website=StatCounter Global Stats |language=en}}</ref> Across all platforms Windows 11 runs on<!-- 31.12% (all Windows) × 8.47% = --> a share of 2.6% of PCs.

| | ''Mannerings said capital-efficient means a trader's capital is used efficiently and that the protocol does not need any more funds to be locked up for margins than is necessary. "This is incredibly important for traders as the cost of capital to fund a position can make the difference between whether it's worth trading or not," he said."'' |

The round was led by [[Arrington XRP Capital|Arrington Capital]] and [[Cumberland DRW]], with participation from [[Coinbase (Company)|Coinbase Ventures]], [[ParaFi Capital]], [[CMS Holdings]], and many others. Vega has raised the money via a token sale as a strategic investment round. The round brings Vega's total funding to date to "a bit under $12 million," Mannerings told The Block. The project had previously raised a $5 million seed round in October 2019."'' |
