Windows 11 Optional Trials
Microsoft has just announced an option for people to trial new features before their general release of Windows 11.
This isn’t about fixes to security flaws – everyone gets those simultaneously.
This is an opportunity for businesses first to jump the queue to receive new features and updates.
Sound exciting?
Yes!
Worth the risk?
Not quite.
Our advice?
Patience is a virtue!
Sure, it may be tempting to give in to the tantalizing prospect of new features… nobody ever wants to wait. But jumping aboard any trial phase comes with risks.
Bugs, errors, and other stumbling blocks could significantly impact your operations, potentially causing chaos in your daily workflow.
Waiting until features have completed a thorough trial process gives you the advantage of other people’s experience. In addition, they’ve already dealt with the complexities, so by the time you get the new features, they’ll be polished and dependable. And isn’t that more important for the smooth running of your business?
The safe road is bright, especially when your business systems are involved. The benefits of being an early adopter may seem enticing, but you don’t want to be the guinea pig.
Remember the adage that good things come to those who wait!
We’re all for keeping up with the latest technology and software updates, but there is a time to exercise caution, and this is one of those times. Don’t be tempted by the shiny new features.
- Be patient
- Stay safe
- And ensure that when the time comes, you’re getting something proven to work.
