Thank you Jim for sharing that information. I many not like Microsoft for their silly (being polite) business practices, but do enjoy using Windows as an operating system. As long as I customize it the way I want to use it using third party programs, I am okay, Mindblower!

I don’t use it. I will never use it. All my work is done on a Windows7 desktop. My Windows 10 computer is used for some necessary internet access. With a little help from friendly software, I was able to bend 10 into something usable. I keep reading that many folks are moving to Linux. You’d think Microsoft would rethink their latest monster, but apparently they aren’t. Me, I simply have no future OS plans.

Thanks for the great article Jim, I don’t think many people realize what is now Windows 11 was supposed to be a mobile or tablet OS that was originally scrapped and in order to justify the tons of money spent on it and save jobs the OS was pretty much ported to a PC OS and crammed down everyone’s throat whether we wanted it or not under the guise of “security”
What most do not know is regardless of hardware requirements Windows 11 is no more secure than it’s predecessor Windows 10, it’s all just a marketing ploy.
