I'll have access to a bare metal system next week to try it on but on a Oracle Virtualbox, it is next to useless to run unless you can allocate at least 4 processors and 16GB of RAM, and making sure the VM is running from a SSD drive. Windows 10 requires a SSD and at least 8GB of RAM to have a usable system.
I installed Open Shell and it appears to be work. I get the Windows 10 like menu when I click the windows icon but get the Windows classic menu when I hit the windows key. Also of interest is Open Shell doesn't know it's Windows 11. It shows Windows 10 Pro For Workstations on the start menu.
The TPM requirement is bullshit. I got it installed with no TPM chip.
It does not want to let you not create a local account instead of a M$ account. Took a few tries to get it to let me create a local account. For some reason it kept dropping me back to the "create M$ account".
The seeder was nice enough to give me Office 2019. Eh.
Got Chrome and other basic applications in without any issue.
Virtualbox seems to be ok with Windows 11.
Other than a re-skin I am not seeing anything else of significance that is different from Windoze 10.
EDIT 1: Jesus H Christ nailed to a fucking cross by a pedophile smeared in shit, Powershell 2.0 is not only an option but ENABLED. Even Office 2019 FINALLY moved past Powershell 1.0 and now is 5.0.
EDIT 2: Some "good" news. The Control Panel is still there but you have to hunt for it.
EDIT 3: Run a Tenable Vuln Scan and the .NET with it is dated back to May with plenty of vulnerabilities. Cannot patch because Win 11 won't take the patch. I have downloaded the "slim" version AND M$ has released the Insider Edition, so turn off your updates.
