This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
No it will force operating system upgrades, as people switch to Macos or Linux
everyone switches to alternative OSes any%
Its not enough for me to see linux do better. Microslop needs to suffer.
Please do it. And end support for Windows 11 in 2027!
Quite surprised that they are pushing that, seeing as one of the biggest obstacles for Windows 11 getting adopted was that a lot of the existing hardware didn't support the TPM requirements it put in place.
Doing it again so soon seems like a recipe to make people not want to use 12 at all. After all, Windows 11 works fine for them, why change so soon?
So they're going to try to get everyone to buy new hardware when there is a shortage of ram and storage and they are ridiculously overpriced.
The timing of this couldn't be worse.
Pass the popcorn.
"Don't worry about that, you can just run it in the cloud for an eternal subscription" - Microslop.
How much longer will corporate buyers keep taking this?
The enterprise editions don't seem to attract all of the bloat that home and pro editions get. I think they know they can't get away with it.
So a forced upgrade again? I don't understand why people put up with this still, apart from shitty Windows only software and even then, maybe it's time to try something new.
Install Linux, Problem Solved.
This is the Year of the Linux Desktop.
I know Lemmy is a Linux echo chamber. But also, I feel like people did actually managed to move to alternative OSes or stay on Win10 cause they were fed up with NoPilot on win11.
Also, once Steam Machine is released, that probably will boost migration to the skies.
They can force upgrade themselves in the ass.
The only thing I'm looking forward to more than the collapse of the AI bubble is Microsoft, specifically, eating shit at the hands of a public that doesn't want, need, or give two shits about them anymore. Just like Intel or whatever your favorite example is, see some fucking titan that thought they were some great titan, only to turn out to be Ozymandias when the whole fucking world looks up at them and shrugs. Like the end of the Truman show when this massive, all-consuming industry of a production comes crashing down in an evening, and the television viewers at home happily shrug and say, "what else is on?"
The word about Linux is out, and, as Snazzy Labs recently pointed out, Macs have accidentally become the best value in new computers. There are excellent non-Windows options for ordinary people who just do everything through a web browser and an office suite, for not much money all over the fucking place, and the day their greed catches up to them and they start to lose real market share is so close I can taste it.
Making windows worse, AI, and forced CPU upgrades in this economy? There really is something for everyone to hate here.
Yes please!
I could use a few more modern tiny/mini/micros to make into useful Linux boxes.
If vibe-coding is wrecking Windows 11 and Office now ... just wait until Windows 12 sees the light of day! Ohhh boy, will that ever be some infinite-monkeys-on-typewriters-shite!
Didn’t they jest release windows 11?
Didn't they once allude to windows 10 being the last windows because no more revisions were necessary
No, media did say that at over point, but it was never based on any announcement from Microsoft.

It came from the mouth of a Microsoft executive, and Microsoft followed up with a statement saying they were moving Windows 10 to a service model.
No, windows 11 has been out for like 5 years now.
Oh, well it sucks and I don’t use it.
Same. Switched my personal machine to Mint instead of "upgrading" to 11. I have to use 11 for my work device, and it's not hyperbole to say that it gets worse every single week.
Fuck that and fuck Microslops pick me CEO.
God it feels good to be Windows free by this point.
