#11
Its a tough decision, i have computers that can go to win 11 but i don't really want to support it at the same time because i have plenty of other computers that can't and those computers can still do many things.
The other stuff i mentioned is only a potential but there is clear signs that this is a likely outcome that we will face in the coming years because trusted computing.
We wont be able to escape it tbh. I have talked to others that are in IT and cybersecurity and they are of the same opinions that it is a very likely outcome to come. it wont happen straight away either it will be drawn out over years.
i don't know how everyone else feels on the topic but if it really does go this way then it feels like there will be no choice in anonymity online. I don't know about you but i don't tell the post man every single thing about me or the person i say hi to while walking down the street either, same as the grocer at the checkout when i purchase my groceries. In this context these system could have potential to do that in the form of everything you do online will be recorded and 100% verified.
VPN? well it will only mask your IP and geo location like it is doing currently.
its multifaceted so with win 11 for the people who like running computers that are only like 5 years old but not viable anymore because of the requirement then that is a loss and imo its anti computer.
subscription model for support also sounds like dark times its forced bias and basically a fk you to the consumers. The 1 billion net that will be wide of pre gen 8 pc's is huge money generation to come already.
