Windows 11 Catalogs are provided by Microsoft in an XML format. In previous versions of OSDCloud, these files were compiled and converted into JSON format, known as the OSDCloud OS Catalog. This format sometimes required some time to build before being published in an updated OSDCloud.
OS Catalogs in RAW Format (unmodified) allow for faster updates of OSDCloud to use the latest available Windows 11 releases.
