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.

Well they certainly do seem to be trying as hard as they can to alienate their users. You'd think they would have learned after trying to force-feed everyone Internet Explorer, and then Windows Phone (by putting its UI into desktop Windows), but they're still trying to force-feed Bing and MSN and CoPilot and now Recall to everyone. Linux desktop usage (and this is installable Linux, not Chromebooks and Android) is now approaching 5% of all desktops.
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.

Although I have a deep desire for all social justice warriors to die slowly and painfully, I must remind you that Roy S. has always been stuck in the late 1990's when Microsoft was an existential threat to everyone. We don't live in that world anymore. We must fight the entryists because they are nazis and fascists, not because Microsoft is involved.

I believe every project should have a CoC identical to Citadel's:
