Microsoft was all set to surprise its users with Windows 11 on June 24. However, the plates have turned and a surprise was brewing for Microsoft. Because way before the release date a leaked build of Windows 11 was doing its rounds on the internet. Talk about shocking surprises. While the details suggest the improvised return of a few features, it also promises additional features that are worth looking forward to. And leaked or not, Windows 11 has surely piqued the interest of the users and they can’t keep calm about it.

The images revealing details about the new version of Windows were first spotted on Baidu 0n the 15th of June, a week ahead of the actual launch. It seems like Microsoft is all on with evolution with the latest design. Following the confirmation that the images were that of Windows 11, various websites have begun using it. However, heads up folks! There is a possibility that the leaked version is not the complete one, and thus using it before the company has had its say would not be very prudent.
Twitter, inevitably is filled with responses and memes, for excitement is hard to contain especially when a surprise unveils way before the expected time. Here is a compilation of the best reactions and responses from Twitter.

Patience is preferable. But excitement is hard to contain. On that note, Windows 11 does look promising.

Assumptions and speculations are always welcome. Let’s hope for the best.
I guess we can assume… Mortal Kombat 11 runs on Windows 11.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ Right?

Patience is the key.
"a copy of windows 11 has leaked but please be careful if you're trying it out" wow you are seriously overestimating how much of a hurry i am in to get windows 11

And some food for thought.
I've seen people suggest the Windows 11 leak was intentional. This couldn't be further from the truth. Microsoft doesn't spend millions on marketing campaigns to then leak an unfinished version of their work just a week before a big Windows event

As the saying goes, “Change is the only constant.”
Nothing lasts forever. Not even Windows 10, which is headed towards forced retirement. https://t.co/f2H7qSNSA1
