Trivia

 * Windows 11 easter egg is Mirrored Start menu
 * Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Pro for Workstations have updated default apps but you can still find their original Windows 10 Pro version of these applications in other versions of Windows 11:
 * Active Directory 2.0 (more options and better design)
 * Remote Desktop 2.0 (more options, better design and even faster user change)
 * BitLocker 2.0 (there are 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit options for encryption. Microsoft might be able to develop 512-bit encryption if the technology is enough at that time. Better design.)
