Let me guess, suicide by 17 gunshots to the back of his head? In his car in a hotel parking lot?

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?

Light a candle or smoke a cigarette for increased warmth.

(4*baby elephant weight)/(washing machine weight) = (4 * 110 kg) / (70 kg) ≈ 6 washing machines

DNA matching is the only forensic science that's worth a damn, and only if it's done correctly.

And even that one is useless in case of identical twins.

At that point I'd just get rid of Windows entirely. I used to have it on my laptop, and the updates it installed after booting for the first time in months broke networking. I never used that install so I decided to use the storage space for more sensible things.
