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).

Never correct your enemy while they are making an error. :D

If it is AI based I guarantee it will be subscription based. That could push me over the edge to some Linux variant.

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.

No it will force operating system upgrades, as people switch to Macos or Linux

'member when Windows 10 was supposed to be the final version of Windows? I 'member.

How much longer will corporate buyers keep taking this?

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[–] Vieric@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Man, Microsoft doubling down on the whole "Let's force most of our customers to purchase entirely new computers to use the next release!" strategy after it went so well for Windows 11 is just hilarious. Especially with hardware costs skyrocketing due to AI BS.

Hopefully, SteamOS Desktop will be in the wild and shaked off any teething issues. I want to switch to an OS that is suitable for a power-casual. If it looks like a 2nd American Civil War or WW3 is on, I might switch early to Cachy.
