I understand what you are saying but Windows 11 TPM is basically the same thing. If you don't reset TPM when you change hardware it can be a real pain to get Windows to run properly. I have run into issues just installing Windows 11 on some platforms. The fact remains that Windows 11 has some services baked into TPM, like Game Pass.It is not. Where did you hear that nonsense? No one is required to use bitlocker. It is entirely optional as is OneDrive, which can be readily unistalled.

I mean if you're going to violate the eula though why pay at all? Just pirate the thing at that point.
(Note to mods: not endorsing piracy, just saying it's no better to pay some greymarket vendor for an equally dubious license).
Incorrect and very bad advice. YOU of all people should know this. Whether or not the EULA is fully adhered too is irrelevant to whether or not one has purchased a legit copy. Blatant piracy is dishonest and outright stealing. This is different from using a product outside the terms of EULA, especailly when many of the terms contained within an EULA are blatantly immoral/unethical or unlawful.
Using an OS your own way is a VERY different situation from using without having purchased/paid for it.
It'll be riddled with AI and be cloud focused. M$ is already demanding 50 TOPS AI accelerators on new cpu/apu's for 12. I know 11 is seen as the new Vista, but I'm not sure 12 will be any better.No, thank you. I'll give Windows 12 a go (unless it's riddled with spyware just like 11), but if worst comes to worst, I can live without updates, no biggie.

I really don't view it that way when dealing with graymarket vendors. If you have a choice between buying a product I make from a greymarket key reseller and pirating it, just pirate it.Incorrect and very bad advice. YOU of all people should know this.

there are no new Windows 10 builds, it's finished, just patchesHow long until games are incompatible with Windows 10 21H2 though? You shouldn't expect compatibility until 2032.
Yes, really. The bypasses are easy to use. Everyone can do it. For example, I have the current version(23H2) of 11 running on a Xeon X3460(Lynnfield socket 1156). It runs perfectly. I have tested 11 on a Core2 Duo(T7200) based laptop. It ran fine on that system too.Not really. You need a TPM for Win 11. My HTPC with a 4th gen i7 for example, is not compatible.
TPM and bitlocker are not the same thing. One takes advantage of the other. The presence of TPM does not automatically enable bitlocker.I understand what you are saying but Windows 11 TPM is basically the same thing. If you don't reset TPM when you change hardware it can be a real pain to get Windows to run properly. I have run into issues just installing Windows 11 on some platforms. The fact remains that Windows 11 has some services baked into TPM, like Game Pass.

With some messing around, sure, if one is so inclined. As for me, I'm fine with Win 10.Yes, really. The bypasses are easy to use. Everyone can do it.

Are you being deliberately difficult? If you need bitlocker, set it up and use it. Or use something else that can secure your system. I'm not saying it shouldn't be available, I'm saying it shouldn't be on by DEFAULT! And currently it isn't.So it is not a problem if someone steals your laptop and is able to harvest all your data (such as tax returns etc and perhaps even "remember me" cookies) from it?
You were joking? Yeah, for a moment you had me thinking "What the hell?!?"..Got you going though didn't I
Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying you have too, just that everyone can.With some messing around, sure, if one is so inclined. As for me, I'm fine with Win 10.
You are expressing the differences between something that might be iffy and something that most certainly is wrong and illegal. This is not semantics either. It is a clear line between what is potentially questionable(even though we all know they're not) and what is flat out dishonest.I really don't view it that way when dealing with graymarket vendors. If you have a choice between buying a product I make from a greymarket key reseller and pirating it, just pirate it.
Your view is yours but mine really is not that unusual, and the fact is software devs have rights to decide their license terms.
