• I wonder what happens with all the hardware that is not considered W11 ready when W10 goes EOL. And no, I don’t think “switch to Linux” mantra is solution for everyone. It sure is possible for a lot of home users, but I mean mainly those thousands and thousands of office/corp/workstation PCs with SW that simply can’t be moved to Linux. Is it simply going to be one huge middle finger from MS?

          • @kurcatovium @blindsight Big Corp tends to have surrogated the maintenance and deployment of their Hw.

            It will.mean a huge flood of samall hp desktop computers and similar to the aftermarket for the next years.

            The mid and small companies will have issues and they might keep their win10 for.longer, opening a nice opportunity window to hackers in general.

            Domestic users will be at the same position.

            Lots of people can upgrade without meeting the requirements and they will be the pariah ignored by microsoft support.

            TPM chips to be added to your board will be a growing market.

            And a few lucky ones will end using linux, freebsd, haiku or whatever which fits with them.
