is this real? windows 10 literally came out yesterday
Yep, not moving on. I still have a lot of things to figure out though. Unfortunately windows is easier for a lot of things but I’m completely done.
On released they didn’t know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users’ throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it’ll be Win365 OSaaS anyway…
But what’s an ᗋR𝖢ꔠ?
70% of the market. Half of those computers can’t even run windows 11. Good to see Microsoft taking charge in the fight against the environment by asking tens of millions of people to throw away their perfectly good computers and buy new ones
For real. I’m genuinely trying to grasp why. Is it seriously just so they can require secure boot and then say Windows 11 is secure from ransomware even though that’s a feature of the motherboard and not the OS?
The home-user PC market has been hit HARD by smartphones and tablets. Suburban families no longer have a desktop in a home office plus a laptop for each member of the family. They may have a laptop, and it’s probably a Mac.
This decision is too make people buy new devices or upgrade to an OS that has a lot more tracking built in.
Microsoft is pressing AI and other data-scraping tech hard, but they’re necessarily going to have to have enterprise and government licenses that allow admins to block those features for legal and security reasons.
So they desperately need new home users they can data-mine.
I see I sideload of Gentleman Agreement with the hardware vendors here:
- Hardware Vendors : “Oh No, The Market is Slowing Down!”
- Microsoft: “Hold My Beer, it’s Payback Time”
Everyone wins. Well, the usual suspects win as usual. The environment and the customer can go kiss Mr Gates and Mr Dell’s asses.
So…
Windows 10: the “last” windows version
Release Windows 11, requires specific hardware that you can’t realistically add to your existing PC. But Windows 10 will keep being updated
Windows 10 is not getting anymore updates
Love it, no notes.
To be fair, my understanding is the “10 is the last version” idea came from a developer speaking in an unofficial capacity and the media ran with it. It may have never been true.
