I can't say that I really had hope in Windows 11 being a good OS to begin with. If Microsoft was able to get away with being malicious with Windows 10, it only makes sense that they would crank it up to 11.
I have no doubts that it will eventually be functionally sound, but with all of it's questionable requirements and it's laughably poor UI design choices, I don't see myself using it as a daily driver any time soon.
The fact that Microsoft is alienating a large userbase of people that recently bought a PC or laptop without a TPM module might be the biggest mistake they've made since slapping "Vista Capable" stickers on budget XP hardware.
I feel like Valve couldn't have picked a better time to bring more Linux exposure to the market with the Steam Deck.
Come 2025, I'm sure most people will end up integrating with Win 11, but who knows? Maybe by then they'll release a slightly more reasonable 11.1.

I doubt that Microsoft will release a point one version of Windows 11 after it's going to be released because people like Linus (from Linus Tech Tips) will absolutely love the thing.

Yep. Microsoft is trying to cover that Windows 11 works on unsupported hardware.

When did Microsoft say that? They said they would boot people with unsupported hardware off the Insider program, they didn't say anything about banning them.

Windows 11 launches today. The trick to get it working on unsupported hardware, does that involve simply installing it from USB?

There are many other alternatives for chrome that will also support Windows 7 for quite some time in the future.
Keep it up, bro, every Windows 7 machine counts to increase market share.

I use Firefox, and for Chrome users there might be ways of getting Chrome to run on 7 after the end of support. I hate how all these companies are making software that specifically requires a new sh*tty version of Windows, while the kernel on the older systems is more than capable of running their programs. I hope someone makes an extended kernel for 7 or something like that.
