Microsoft rolled out Windows 11 earlier this week, and to celebrate this highly anticipated moment, the company has also introduced a special treat that fans in the United States would totally love.

The software firm has announced what’s being called Bloomberry, a limited-edition ice cream created in collaboration with Mikey Likes It and offered for free at certain locations in East Village and Harlem.

Panos Panay himself teased the ice cream on Twitter, and Mikey Likes It confirmed that Bloomberry was a free treat for the luckiest Microsoft users that combines blueberry ice cream with blueberry pie filling, pound cake, and candy chocolate pieces.

It sounds delicious, there’s no doubt about it, but on the other hand, it was only offered to Microsoft fans in the United States. No love for Europeans, unfortunately.

Windows 11 rolling out in stages

The rollout of Windows 11 is taking place in stages to devices across the world, with Microsoft promising to complete the release by the summer of 2022.

“The free upgrade to Windows 11 starts on October 5 and will be phased and measured with a focus on quality. Following the tremendous learnings from Windows 10, we want to make sure we’re providing you with the best possible experience. That means new eligible devices will be offered the upgrade first. The upgrade will then roll out over time to in-market devices based on intelligence models that consider hardware eligibility, reliability metrics, age of device and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022,” the company said.

However, those who don’t want to wait can always clean-install Windows 11 using the dedicated ISO images, while the Update Assistant should help download the necessary bits on a device currently running Windows 10.
