Hello Nick Andre!

If it's the same commercial that I think it is, it also shows  
some apparently good-looking people (assumingly smart) using  
win11 for "high-speed" collaboration of updating art or  
documents. :/ They are depicted as being very happy and  
excited!

My question is, WHY the need for a Win11 commercial in the
first place? Is the market suffering somehow with people  
staying with previous OS versions or perhaps trying Linux or  
iOS for the first time?

Maybe the aformentioned "smart" people do one THING at a time  
anyway!  LOL

That reminds me of the rigmarole that I went through to connect  
an IP printer to my network at the shop.  I was really excited  
when it did finally work!  But that was back with Win7. I'm  
surprised that Win11 still doesn't address the IP printer issue  
properly!
