Please wait...
While true, they do still make tons of cash off desktops ( OEMs ) so they would want to do as much as they can to lock you in.
And its not all about money, its about control too. ( ok, control over you so they can get more money down the road when you cant climb out of their walled garden, but not immediate money.. )

and they benefit from that regardless of the operating system being used.
When it hits 10% we may expect an avalanche effect.
Although maybe that's not what we want. Look at how the mainstream people ruined the Internet.
You know what really blows? Worldwide, about 170,000 people die every day, and none of them are Bill Gates.
I want Bill Gates to die. Preferably by being shredded alive in a wood chipper.
Feet first, to maximize the duration of the experience.
There is a community where I remind people of this fact every day. But here I will simply ask that you come back and read this message every day.
Because it is important.
I think he is now pushing the mosquito narrative. I did see a blurb as i hit close on some news feed "if we don't go to war soon the thing that scares me most is another pandemic"
No, that isn't what scares him. its the serfs taking back control.

Well, we know that there are a lot of elites having *that* thought. Line 'em up for the guillotine and execute them French Revolution style, is what I say.
So like many paces we are upgrading/refreshing to windows 11 ( ick ). My CDMB is not showing them as 11 so we cant do reports and such.. We get our data from SCCM scans. "so, what does SCCM show, my system should be creating a new entry for a new OS level and associating"
I get a screenshot of that field from SCCM : "Microsoft Windows NT workstation v 10.0"
lol.
I believe every project should have a CoC identical to Citadel's:

Not a joke! It sure sounds like one, though.

What could possibly go wrong? A company called "Constellation Energy" is taking over operations and ownership of the site, and is restarting Unit 1 (it's Unit 2 that melted down) to supply energy to Microsoft data centers in an exclusive 20 year deal.
This actually doesn't bother me (aside from the fact that cloud computing is concentrated in the hands of far too few providers) because I am pro-nuclear in a big way. But it sure does sound funny.
I saw that too
Ya, more nuclear is good. Using it for Microsoft's crap, is not.
Not exactly Microsoft's fault, but ill blame them anyway .. lol. Was checking some reports into source control, noticed the dates "why is.. oh...." the timezone on VDI was wrong.
And more related to MS.. so as i have bitched about recently in another room, our change in MFA killed the Linux/android/web VDI clients and im forced to use windows. So i dont have to screw with a laptop all the time, i built a 'tiny' win11 vm for my regular desktop that basically just runs the VDI client. Originally didnt even have a browser, but i needed it for authentication.. Grr ( installed some minimal 3rd party thing, not edge or chrome )
But... i dont have a license, and now its got the watermark.. I assume it keeps running like this forever, or will it die at some point? I have looked around online, get different stories. I dont care if anything else works, just the VDI client and that browser for MFA.
And im being told that the fix is to upgrade the VM to Windows 11... really? Grasping at straws aren't we?
Not that i care about getting it upgraded, win10 dies soon anyway, but as a fix?

Windows 11 is becoming intolerable -- Microsoft is now shoving more and more of "copilot" into its users using a hydraulic press and without lube. This includes the part that takes a screenshot every minute and sends it back to Microsoft. Why anyone would voluntarily continue using this operating system at this point is beyond reason.
So basically they're up to their old tricks again. Copilot, the "Windows Phone" user interface, Bing search, Internet Explorer, all part of the long list of technologies that suck but Microsoft wants to force everyone to use anyway.
It bears repeating: Windows users are quite literally staying in an abusive relationship.
its all about the lock-in and money.
