As it is currently in Preview Build, it means that always Windows 11 users will not see it yet. However, if the test goes well and there is a positive response from Windows Insider, we may see a feature from the New Windows 11 update could make it an iPad killer in the future.

Update: Microsoft tablet wishes are still available

This new update indicates that Microsoft tablet’s preferences remain unaffected. While its rivals Apple and Google have achieved great success with tablet devices, Microsoft has yet to do the same. Its efforts to take the powerful iPad and gain a share of the tablet market into a mixed bag.

There was an unpopular Windows 8, which downloaded the old Windows interface, including the task bar and Start menu, to have a virtual interface with the main features intended for tablet use. The problem was, Windows 8 tablets were not ignored, and desktop and laptop users hated to tolerate the visual interface built-in touch screens they did not have.

Microsoft has achieved more success with its Surface Pro line of 2-in-1 devices, next to Windows 10, which has a more balanced interface with a better interface for traditional PCs, while still having tablet mode.

However, the sale of Surface Pro remains after the sale of the iPad and Android tablet, but it seems Microsoft is not giving up. If Windows 11 continues to emerge to work even better on tablet devices, this could be Microsoft’s best bet for Apple and Google.
