This is not a good trend.  Twitter has done a lot of censoring of posters over the years that is deeply undemocratic .  A notable example was censorship by Twitter of the NYPost's 100% true story about Hunter Biden's laptop and activities.  Such things work against the principles of a free society, as did Apple's peremptory removal of Parler from the App store.  Big Tech should take itself out of the censorship business for the good of every citizen of whatever politics.

You do realize they're a private company and they can do whatever the heck they want, right? Right?

Companies like Intel and Dell might be lobbying with (or paying) Microsoft to not release it, because it will only damage their sales when they can't build equally fast systems.

Uh, you do realize that would be illegal anticompetitive nonsense, right? That's what got MS in trouble with the government 20 years ago with Internet Explorer.

Who want to pay all that money and then have to run around and charge batteries all the time. I am sorry this solution does not pass the wife test, If i installed this and the first time she could not open or close a blind because the batteries need charged they would be torn out.

Well, maybe it's the wife that needs to get swapped out... 

Talk about a backfire!

I used to have an AirPort Extreme N simultaneous duel band and an Express N simultaneous duel band as an extender. When we ended up getting a new home theater system at the house, the wi-fi wasn't strong enough, so it was time to finally upgrade. I ended up going with a Linksys Wi-Fi 6 Velop mesh system for a few reasons, one being that it has 4 Ethernet ports on the back that are useable even on the satellite devices. That way we were able to hook up the Playstation and AppleTV to the router for better coverage. I'd just like to see a few software updates from them. Mainly, it has a USB 3 port for an external hard drive. Well, it only supports FAT and NTFS, which limits the usability to work with an Apple setup with large video files, which kinda negates the reason I bought a 12TB external HDD. (FAT doesn't work with hard drives that large, and also doesn't work with files over 4GB, so huge video files are a no-go. There are NTFS plugins available for the Mac, but it won't work with the AppleTV.) So, I need either exFAT or APFS support for the larger HDD and large video files. It also doesn't support HomeKit yet, while other, older Linksys routers do, which makes no sense to me. So, arg.... If Apple introduced a new AirPort, with Wi-Fi 6 and good mesh support, I would really take a good hard look at that. But, #FirstWorldProblems.
