Microsoft Launches Windows 11 Operating System

[bug]

Yup that's why i'm still on a 16:10 aspect ratio monitor

Me too. I couldn't find a 16:10 4k monitor, but let's just say 4k offers enough vertical space. For now

Interesting choice, calling a compatibility checker "PC Health Check". Almost as of they were trying to imply my PC is somehow sick if it can't run Win11.

I call BS on the whole TRM Secure shit . Why does MS want this is beyond me...

It's an enterprise feature that the enterprise won't touch until it has proven itself. We have the honor of being the guinea pigs.

The problem as I see it, is once Microsoft gets to sign off on anything and everything you can boot on your hardware, you don't really own the hardware anymore. Just like in consoles' case.

Well, US DoD mandates systems used under their jurisdiction or that interface with DoD systems use TPM. So, there you have an enterprise class user.

Bitlocker can also use it, though it's not mandatory AFAIK.

Intel's Theft Deterrent also used TPM (though I don't know the current state of that software)

Chromebooks have TPM and is part of their security model,not just for boot purposes but also for login and to protect the encrypted store.

All those OEM systems with Connected Standby also use TPM 2.0.

Plus Secure Boot itself.

Plenty of use IMO.

I found the unveiling to be more like a boardroom Powerpoint presentation. Dull as ditch water.

you need to go into your bios and enable firmware TPM like I did on the previous page your system is new enough.

I honestly would have rather sat through another of NVIDIA's presentations.

NGL, I think we're reaching a point where the OS is basically feature complete regarding stuff that's user-facing (interface, UX, etc.). The only interesting things nowadays are internal stuff (like kernel changes, or new APIs).

So, I'm kinda bothered by these somewhat pointless changes to the interface.

Yes, just done that and I've been accepted

Congratulations, you are one of them now.

Thing is, there's nothing to prove. It's been around for almost a decade now. Hardware security is and remains a failed philosophy. This is so dumb.

Ahh the good old days when 100MB of RAM was enough for an OS

*Looks at 64GB*



i wonder how many XP's can fit in this thing in VMs

I remember that, too, in the early-2000s! When I could easily get by with 128 MB of SDRAM on my Athlon T-bird 900 Mhz PC.

Banned by the checker? Very likely, it's because fTPM is disabled in the UEFI-BIOS. I had the same thing, too and didn't want to get screwed by being forced to buy an unknown TPM module!

So have Gabe and Tim chimed in, after all this will be the closest Windows has been to what they were worried about with 8 and 10, a "walled garden".

I have the Windows 11 Dev installed via the program WiNtoUSB program and I transfer it to my SSD but I'm wondering will the MS allow it to go Full Windows as in move forward from Dev to Home or other

Dev is just an update channel (like Semi Annual, LTSC, etc). However, that's a leaked build, so consider it to be non updateable.

You'd just have to do an upgrade install, exactly like we do right now with an ISO file between major builds of W10
no files or settings are lost, but certain tweaks or modified system files could go back to defaults (like people who disable telemetry and shiz)

Nice...

What a waste of time. A quarter of hour looking at stuff that in KDE land would only qualify as mild settings changes...

The question, currently, is not how. It's why?

That's a stupid and paranoid theory, unless you can cite some actual proof of the allegations that you're making here, in your absurd attempt at Apple bashing.

Absurd to call it absurd - the fact that these companies have our personal data and everything we do on our computers is a problem to me, because they're private and unregulated by the Privacy Act ( which is so out of date and useless so as not to exist at all ) GDPR was a small staggered step in the correct direction but is still woefully inadequate.

In my humble opinion Privacy on a Personal Computer should be fought for.
Its your choice entirely if you choose to share private information online, but at the moment its been constantly stolen by the likes of MS / GMAIL / MACOS s - These companies want access to EVERYTHING and the government is onboard entirely. After all Google was founded with CIA seed funding.
