Hardware & Technical windows 11 report

[MishaTX]

Microsoft business cycle:

1) Observe that new sales are dropping.
2) Decide on making new version.
3) Gather information on which functions users use the most.
4) Instruct UI team to change icons for all of those and move them to a different submenu of another submenu.
5) Announce launch of "new and much improved" version.

The upgrade from 10 is free, so MS won't be making money from that. It has stringent hardware requirements though so hardware manufacturers will be busy trying to comply so they can sell Win11 with their new stock.

Well that's good news, then

Let's hope they don't try to force it down everybody's throat this time, because that did nothing to endear them to me.

Maybe they discovered that this didn't bring them as much money.

Good point.

I don't think it's good news. It means Windows is no longer a product for its users beyond getting them to use it for ulterior motives and revenue streams.

CMDR Thrust?

The one from Bradford I mean.

Naah, Cmdr thrust has Windows 12 installed in his rig.

He said Windows 11 was pretty unstable.
