After buyers invested in Windows 11 PCs, Microsoft may find it difficult to encourage early adoption. The motivation now is not security-related, but rather mandating previously optional AI-based features […] Consumers may also not welcome rumored subscription-based plans for the OS. Still, the report suggests that additional costs are related to an improved Windows 365 cloud-based service […]
Windows is a mandatory AI driven “” os “” that’s leasing its features from cloud platforms. Sounds like corporate setups for home computers
Wasn’t 10 the last windows?
I guess they’re really pushing You’ll own nothing and be happy, soon they’ll sell TMP/SecureBoot-locked dumb terminals for the masses (with id check of course).I still have clients refusing to buy Office 365 subscriptions and insist on sticking with their old copies of Office 2016. I’d love to see how Microsoft is gonna convince those cheap fucks that this is the correct path forward. This OS is dead.
It may not even be them being cheap, just that most people/organisations not directly tech-focused simply aren’t inclined to update software. Like wearing clothing until it starts to fall apart. That trend is another nail in the coffin
To be honest offline Office 2016 is a solid product and the desktop software is still more snappy and capable then the online counterparts. If you don’t need collaboration and online integration there’s little reason to go subscription based. I can understand that small companies make that decision. After all it is just a tool and not a goal in itself.

Good, keep killing your own OS and forcing people to alternatives.
I love how short sighted they are.
No, I don’t think I wil.
One of my 2 PCs already switched to linux because of mandatory TPM 2.0 for windows.
It’s like they want us to leave their ecosystem. Requiring hardware changes in the middle of a major component crisis, one that they are in no small part responsible for, is certainly a choice.
when one understands the unified and singular nature of existence, its easier to see how the greed driving the actions of those in power is also the necessary call for others to respond. with the call getting louder and more extreme, many are waking up to the truth of their reality. anyone hoping life will go back to normal will not survive the transformation, only those who embrace change as a necessary growth opportunity to overcome darker elements of our collective culture and experience. for example, we all understand the sickness if an individual pedo, but we have yet to fully expose and understand the breadth of the affliction. It will continue to reveal itself like an infected wound that can no longer be ignored and must be treated. so yes, they do want us to leave their platform only they don’t know it and they will only inspire a better one to be built with a purpose beyond individual gain. The enshitification is a blessing.
I think I’m too sober for this shit.
Brother, I hope so.
I feel like this is something the autistic brain notices a lot, and may regular folks not so much.
Oh my God they’re gonna do it again? I’m so fucking giddy rn
Sounds like a sound plan Microslop!!!
If they do this, they are going to be laughed out of the room. But then they will announce end of life for Win11 and everyone will stop asking questions and move anyway because “Linux scary”.
I hate reality.
They’ll put an affordable dumb terminal on the market like those Google PCs.
You’ll own nothing.
Its not enough for me to see linux do better. Microslop needs to suffer.
I check the stock markets daily just waiting for that fkn line to drop even further.
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?
Calling it: win12 will have a thin client cloud hosted SaaS edition, for those who can’t afford new ai-priced hardware.
I’d bet on that as well. It is big tech’s master plan.
No it will force operating system upgrades, as people switch to Macos or Linux
