"Microsoft's Windows 11.1: A Long-Awaited Name Change?"

Microsoft's naming strategy for Windows updates has been confusing, with a lack of clear point releases like Windows 11.1 or Windows 11.2. Instead, the company has used various names such as 22H2 and 23H2, which can be confusing for regular users. This approach makes it difficult to identify the latest version of Windows and find information about specific updates. In contrast, Apple successfully uses point releases for its operating systems, providing a clear and easy way to identify the latest version. Microsoft's history of naming its Windows operating systems has also been criticized, with past examples like "Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC Phone Edition" and "Windows Phone 7.1 Series." It is hoped that with future releases, Microsoft will adopt a more straightforward naming strategy or reintroduce point releases.
