In related news - ever wondered why Windows 11 can't be installed on "older computers"?
You know, the ones that don't have a TPM chip?
Now you know. Windows 11 completes the lock-up of the OS.
That's why Windows 11 exists in the first place. All other changes are secondary. Microsoft knows they would've not been able to pull shit like this as a Windows 10 update, so they were effectively forced to do a version increase. Against older promises of W10 being the last Windows version ever.
Welcome to the future that Microsoft always wanted, but couldn't have - a platform with airtight control. Just like what Apple has with its AppStore and its wonderful, wonderful 30% commission. Almost there and the lemmings didn't even notice it, distracted by the new and friendly Microsoft front, free upgrades to Windows 10 and centered Start menu in Windows 11.
Mark my words - Windows 12 will severely impede direct installation even of an user-space software, funnelling everyone to go through the store. That's the end goal and we will all be there in a couple of years, whether we want it or not.
