Video and images of Microsoft's upcoming operating system Windows 11 have leaked online, according to a Tuesday report from The Verge. With Microsoft revealing Monday that support for Windows 10 will end in 2025, the next generation of Windows appears to feature a new Start menu, home screen, startup sound and a more modern and Mac-like aesthetic.
