We already knew what to expect except for the stock prices. The (possibly planned) leaks already showed what we were likely to get. Windows 11 looks more like a UI/UX overhaul of Windows 10 more than anything. Since it looks different and good for marketing, Mincrosoft is calling it Windows 11. In my eyes it is still more of an update.
There could be changes under the hood. Maybe those changes will happen over time with more updates. So far these are the most basic things you need know (summarized):

MSFT vs AAPL
- AAPL does have a better PE Ratio
- Marketcaps are very close to each other
- If the trend continues, MSFT may become the most valuable company in the world
It is a little strange to see such low volatility in prices even around such major news, after seeing the powerful and massive price swings that are an inherent part of cryptosphere.
A Lesson for DAPPs
Everyone in the technology space is going for a very sleek "Modern" look. We cannot be looking like some archaic thing from past. UI/IX is how customer interacts with the software you have built. Having focused on competing front ends is a must for the future IMO.
