    The only people that will really suffer from this is businesses. They will have to buy W11, and they will need to get supported hardware. However, businesses usually have rolling upgrades in place in the IT and have probably rolled out many already.

    As for home users, with each newer generation, they become more tech savy. I can tell you now, this won’t affect as many people as you imagine.

    • 1: W11 is free to download from M$. You can choose whether or not to buy a licence. W11 cracks already exist, M$ is still using key management services, so something like KMSpico still work. There are also tons of activator scripts on github (lol, since M$ owns this!).
    • 2: Grab a copy of RUFUS. Use it to take the W11 image and remove all restrictions, and dump it to USB.
    • 3: ???
    • 4: Profit.

    I’m not defending Microsoft here but, the problem in this case isn’t Microsoft, there’s no reason a person can’t educate themselves enough to move away from Windows. If you have access to a PC, you more than likely have access to the internet and there’s no shortage of information online.

    Yes what Microsoft is doing is negligent. But the consumer can’t be completely blameless.

      "I’m not defending rapists but there’s no reason women can’t educate themselves on how to make it so they’re less likely to be raped.

      Yes what rapists are doing is bad. But the person being raped can’t be completely blameless."

        I don’t know how men being trash is relevant here. It not hard to learn I don’t understand what everyones problem is. If I know a product is bad and I keep using It, that’s my fault.
