Microsoft just announced an option for people to trial new features before their general release in Windows 11.
The announcement isn’t about fixes to security flaws – everyone gets those simultaneously.
Instead, it’s an opportunity for businesses to jump the line to receive new features and updates first.
Sound exciting?
Yes!
Worth the risk?
Not quite.
Our advice?
Patience is a virtue!
Sure, giving in to the tantalizing prospect of new features may be tempting – 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, 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 they’ll be polished and dependable by the time you get the new features. And isn’t that more important for the smooth running of your business?
Trust us, the safe road is smart, 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 – 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 that’s proven to work
