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!
