Microsoft just released Windows 1.11 with Stranger Things' flavor
What's the story
Just last week, Microsoft started teasing Windows 1.0, an operating system it had launched more than 30 years ago.
The move puzzled fans around the globe as no one expected the Redmond giant to post photos of a decades-old platform in 2019.
But now we know, Microsoft did all that to bring Windows 1.11, a Stranger Things' specific version of Windows 1.0.
Here's more.

Why Microsoft is bringing Windows with Stranger Things
When Microsoft started with the teases, many predicted that the move could be some sort of promotion for Stranger Things 3, which is set in the same year of Windows 1.0's release.
Now, the appearance of Windows 1.11 confirms the theory; Microsoft actually wants Windows 10 users to feel the nostalgia of 1985 and Windows 1.0 with the freaky elements of Stranger Things.
