Couldn't M$ make corporations deal with it anyways? It's really not like they could just switch to Linux or Mac with their very specific BS piece of software of which every company has their own that runs on Windows only.

Wouldn't it be more like Android/Linux (or Android plus Linux) because it only has a small fraction of the GNU software / libraries but still uses the Linux kernel?
The only reason I still have Windows are a few games that don't work properly on Linux (via Steam Proton) yet.
I will keep Windows 10 until Steam no longer supports it or all my games run well on Linux (I check for that occasionally). IDGAF about no longer getting security updates as I have moved everything except for those few games to Linux years ago.
Especially not for such enragingly artificial hardware requirements. Any computer able to run 64-Bit Win XP would probably run Windows 11 just fine if Microsoft hadn't decided to build instructions that only work on recent CPUs into the kernel specifically to make it not run on older hardware.
Claw-Yee!
Any store installing that crap (it fortunately hasn't arrived in my country yet) will lose me as a customer. I know it won't hurt them, but I'm not dealing with shit like that.
I'm completely out of the Joop, what is going on with all those jeans themed posts?
That looks easy enough even for me to play it
I suspect most people that only use their Windows computer for general stuff like web browsing, e-mail, multi media, office etc., which is probably the majority by far, will actually fall for the subscription scam.
If their spying algorithm is as easy to fool as Instagram's, that wouldn't be a major concern if I still used that bad fediverse clone.
I have one backpack I use for everything. I usually keep a 65W USB A+C charger and a 45W Powerbank with a small assortment of cables in there.
Now of course I have multiple USB-PD chargers and powerbanks, however all of those mysteriously disappear when I need them, making it necessary to use the backpack ones at home and being the clumsy dork I am, I always forget them there reducing the backpack charger count to zero. And guess when I come into a situation where I desperately need to recharge \ on the go?
Let me guess, suicide by 17 gunshots to the back of his head? In his car in a hotel parking lot?
