Lmao those minimum requirements. Remember how bad the minimum requirements were on Vista? That's now small potatoes compared to 11:
-4 GB RAM
-64 GB storage
-Graphics card compatible with Direct X12
-720p display that is greater than 9-inches
-Internet mandatory (Home version only)

The 4 GB RAM isn't that much of a deal-breaker, since many machines can easily be upgraded to that, but god dang, does Microsoft really want legacy machines to not run Windows 11.

I would've given Windows 11 a chance had it not been for those specifications which sure, I could go out and either build or buy a higher end machine that can take all of that in, but what about everyone else? And by the way, I am not willing to upgrade to anything that will likely chew up more resources on my computer than it does now.

:story:

At least Windows 10 will stick around for several more years. After that, I'll probably dump Windows for any Linux distribution.

EDIT:
LMAO! My computer is apparently not even compatible with Windows 11, and it's only 10 years old, so its not that outdated!

That is more than enough to convince me to have this computer switch over to Linux in the nick of time.

Russians already modded the leaked version of Window 11 to bypass the TPM lock, but, check this out mine says the same with the health garbage thingy, it always say "cant run" because your mobo needs to have TPM 2.0, mine is so old it doesnt even have UEFI :, ) sorry microsoft i dont have 700 bucks to get a new rig

BUT if you go to the website that checks compatibility it says is kosher and i will get the update automatically

I dont know what the crap is wrong with Mucusoft

I can imagine the headache this is going to cause for office jobs. They were already using Windows 7 computers to run Windows 10 rather than buy new towers made for 10. Every CEO is going to shit their pants once their IT department tells them they need to spend a fuck-ton of money on new hardware. On the other hand, companies like Dell and HP will probably make bank from all the new contracts they will be creating with these businesses.

There’s no way Enterprise and Education are going to require this stupid TCM chip.

wow holy crap on a flying crudstick that's insane

Why is so much RAM needed for managing files and running apps? Windows 98 could do the same stuff with just 16-24 MB, and that may have been bloated. The original Mac Finder worked with just 128 K of RAM.

We know you guys are all talk and will NEVER switch to linux. Just man up now or get a mac like a sissy.

Anyways, it seems fine to me. They seem to be realizing they won't ever be an ecosystem, people have been treating windows like a hub between different ecosystems. Especially since they have to get with the times compared with the workflow synchronization of mac+iphone, achieving something similar with android should be obvious, since chromebooks aren't for everyone. Apparently the widget feed in W11 is gonna be a true successor to the live tiles of 10 or at least it seemed so in the presentation which means it should show information from the equivalent apps instead of throwing you shit from msn.com. The right-side panel seems better organized now and more visually intuitive like Android/Mac/iOS.

In short, my verdict is "about freaking time we got so and so." I'm not as irrationally autistic to seethe at anything that MS does to the point I'd be breaking the OS' to disable Defender in favor of fuckin' Mcafee just because they dared to promote it in a notification.

The fun thing is that the the only compatible PC I own is the one that runs Linux and I'm not switching that one to W11. The more powerful one is not compatible because it has a legacy BIOS, and it ain't THAT old! MS is really shitting the bed with this planned obsolescence crap, seems like way too drastic from the previous minimum requirements that amounted to "as long as it isn't a potato it doesn't matter how old it is". It feels like a short sighted measure that reeks of "we removed the headphone jack because Apple is doing it" thinking. Just dropping 32bit CPU support would be more sane.

My desktop is 8 years old going by the tool and my laptop is 5 if I am not mistaken. Both will not be updated thanks to the TPM shit. I will wait until those russian hackers remove the requirement (if possible), or keep chugging around with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 for the time beign.

Yeah, my laptop still runs 8.1, and I do not really care since I mostly use it for youtube on the background.

Now or later, tyrants could shut down someone's life for "wrongthink" that way.
Kind of like the capitalist version of the "social credit" bullshit of China.

Imagine opening the wrong pdf, or writing the wrong things in your cloud office software and getting banned by MS for violating the TOS. Oh, also perhaps good luck pirating or remixing media because the OS (via the cloud) may just check the files against a database of copyright library like on YouTube.

I sure am not waiting the future when media is hard coded into a blockchain so you can not have your own copy of it. But RIAA and MPAA certainly wouldn't mind it. Perhaps with Amazon too with books.

For me Windows died with 7. The best way to avoid bullshit is making sure that bullshit can not take place in the first place.

Like I said, it's annoying when technophile hipsters say offline storage media is going away because "the cloud is the future bro". Relying on cloud storage only isn't just stupid because stuff can be taken down at any moment, but also the hosting company can go out of business or just end the service. Also hackers.

The cloud is just somebody else's computer, that's all. They can just delete anything on it, because it's their server. Unless you are an Enterprise level customer, you can't even sue for damages because you lack the money to do so and what is even the cost of your family photos?

The tech makes sense, sometimes. But not as an universal solution to everything.

(Also sending more and more data online is not green. )

Human existence as a service. I mean just look at video games how Game Passes are popular. Not to mention you can't buy a physical copy for the games, because PC gaming lives on Steam. Oh well.

Having a big collection of media simply wouldn't fit into the pod.

Edit: Centralization is economically efficient, just not the best for the end user when it comes to flexibility.

wow that would be a dystopian hell

I pretty much still live in the '00s technologically. I normally only buy physical copies of games. I still watch DVDs (and sometimes VHS). I still use a landline. I still post in online forums like here, and I don't have any social media accounts. And I still use Windows 98 (and DOSBox and WINE) for PC stuff.

Even self-hosted cloud stuff isn't entirely safe. Just ask a WD My Book Live owner.

Vista was a similar nightmare because Intel forced Microsoft to put the Vista sticker on anything containing a chip from their humongous stockpile of shit iGPUs.
