   Yeah, it's not ready, but manufacturers want you to buy all those shiny new laptops and PCs they'll be shipping for the holiday season, not to mention all those companies selling upgrade hardware. [Wonder what happens when people give "Windows" as the reason for all those returns?]

   That said, upgrades via Windows Update will be more of a trickle at 1st -- Microsoft's shooting to have eligible hardware upgraded by sometime in mid 2022. Remember that we're talking about relatively few PCs and laptops, since they have to be pretty new to qualify. No word on Android compatibility or emulation, other than [hopefully] next year.

   To meet that 10/5 release date Microsoft *Has* to finalize Win11 Very soon, if they haven't done so already -- manufacturers need time to set up & test the master disk images they'll be putting on all that new hardware they hope to sell you. At this point they no longer care, have no desire to know how Win11 works on what will be unsupported hardware, so they're telling Insiders using that [usually older] hardware to scoot. If they want to run Win11, that's up to them [using an ISO], but Microsoft no longer wants or needs their data or input.
