Windows 11 seems like it could be a bit of a misstep.

There are a lot of computers that still can run all of the programs people need to use but can't run Windows 11. I don't really anticipate any of the programs I use regularly for work to suddenly require a big processor upgrade; why would my employer want to buy me a new desktop and laptop just because of Windows 11? Especially when supply chain shortages are going to impact electronics for the foreseeable future until more production facilities come online.

I imagine they'll probably have to keep pushing out the Windows 10 support.

Additionally, we've been developing a version of Windows 11 (Lite) that works really well, doesn't need TPM (you can enable it though),
and is fully compatible with all of the computers that MircoSquish says can't run WinBlows 11 ...

I've been using it on an older laptop; it's pretty good ...

Hey, have you noticed that WinBlows 11 looks strangely like AppleOS OOB?
Did you notice that WinBlows 10 looked like a few of the newer versions of Linux OOB at the time?

Hmmmm ....
