The crowd was already buzzing before the performance began. Some were expecting a publicity stunt and others were fueled by a growing movement of social warfare in the community. Whatever the initial cause of the 1913 Rite of Spring Riot, the situation descended into chaos extremely fast. By intermission, police were already onsite breaking up brawls and removing disorderly citizens from the theatre.
As we have progressed in the fields of science and engineering, another theory has emerged as to why the crowd became so unruly – the music was just too strange!
Igor Stravinsky’s ‘Le Sacre du printemps’ is best described in an article by The Verge as “[a] seminal work of modernism – a frenetic, jagged, orchestral ballet that boldly rejected the ordered harmonies and comforts of traditional music”. In other words, this performance was akin to bringing your Lawrence Welk watching granny to a dub-step concert and expecting her to not have a bad reaction.
All this to say that change can sometimes create a bit of anxiety or even hysteria, especially when it comes to upgrading to a whole new Operating System (OS) like Windows 11.
Microscoft: ‘You know what would be really funny? Let’s move the start button… LOL’
On their webpage, Microsoft describes the difference between OS 10 and 11 as having ‘the power and security of Windows 10 with a redesigned and refreshed look’ and comes with ‘…new tools, sounds, and apps.’ Indeed, beta versions portray a very sleek, rounded, and glassy feel to graphics and icons. Beta testers are also loving prominent features like the return of widgets, bar to dock abilities, and upgraded snap tools with expanded options.
However, some people are very startled by the fact that the start button has moved! With the initial Windows 11 settings, the start button and associated features appear in the center as opposed to the original left position. Not to worry, if this is just too much to get behind you can always update the start button settings.
There are also a few programs out there offering a ‘Windows 10 feel’ for Windows 11 that you can download onto your PC. Of course, make sure to thoroughly vet any program or software you plan on using before downloading it onto your PC. If you are ever unsure about the safety a program or software, do not put it on your PC.
It is impossible to please everyone.
With every major change comes major grumbles. On a positive note, most of the complaints about Windows 11 have centered around surface functionality and shortcuts rather than any deep seeded issues.
One of the most notable complaints is about accessing the task manager. Currently, you are able to access the task manager through the ‘right click’ function. On Windows 11, that is no longer the case. Other complaints include concerns surrounding the task bar options, particularly the inability to move the task bar to the side of the screen and limited ‘drag-and-drop’ options.
Outside of the OS itself, there are growing concerns about the eligibility of PCs already running Windows 10. Some have said that the requirements for upgrading to Windows 10 are too restrictive and they worry about the transition, especially when it comes to business.
Hold on a sec, we’ll figure it out…
As per the latest news, Windows 11 will not be fully available until the very end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022. At that time, Microsoft should be able to provide more details as to how the transition will progress. Of course, we will also keep you updated.
In the meantime, you can visit Microsoft’s website for some key FAQ and product information.
