#2Windows 11 is kind of like Metaverse. Nobody wants this except Microsoft deluded executives.
Why couldn't they keep improving the Windows 10 and listen to what people actually want?

#3I will be avoiding Windows 11 for as long as possible. From my understanding, the issue is that you can only install Windows 11 on computers with a TPM, which they then plan to use to shove DRM down your throat. No thank you. I should not have to "cam" my own computer, because my own computer wont allow me to capture whats visible on the screen. Fuck that.

What's wrong with Windows 11?
Re: Windows 11 runs on fewer than 1 in 6 PCs
#5This isn't surprising. The launch-time requirement of a TPM imposes an artificial bar (artificial in the sense that it's purely Microsoft-imposed -- it's usefulness is certainly more debatable to the average user) which instantly locked out people who either:
- Didn't know what that was and didn't care to learn (probably most people); or
- Understood what it was but either didn't have a CPU with a built-in TPM, which is a fairly recent feature, or didn't have a motherboard with a TPM socket.
For the second category of people, Windows 11 is an expensive proposition beyond the base OS itself, and can be involved at the hardware level.
Combine that with some questionable UI choices and ever more ads, and I'm not shocked that Windows 11 hasn't seen widespread adoption.

#7I run windows on ~4 computers. All are on windows 10.
I haven't actually seen anything from Windows 11 that seems like an improvement worth upgrading for, and two of the machines would need me to purchase a TPM module to get it to install. Some features and lack thereof are baffling. It's been out a year and you still can't move the taskbar, and you can't stop it from combining applications in the tasbar. wtf?
Windows 11 will happen over time as regular users buy new computers and they come with windows 11.

What happens if you remove/disable the TPM once windows 11 is installed? Will your computer become unusable?

#10Last I checked, I still couldn't drag an object onto the task bar to move it or open it in my selected program, so it's still a downgrade for me.
