I've been baffled after installing the build twice on a VM, my settings app, microsoft store app and explorer all look like Windows 10. Only explorer folder icons look different. After signing in a microsoft account the start menu even went back to Windows 10 style and I had to tweak the...

And then paint it pink without gremlins trying to stop me

Maybe it has to do with Spectre? Still, for a home setup I should be allowed to have that risk without the operating system trying to protect me from myself. In a corporate environment when you want to know all of your machines are "immune" it would make more sense. In non enterprise versions...

Well it really wasn't about complaining either. I was simply trying to point out that it is in fact greed and not a technical limitation and there is no need for that fact to be defended. Not here to be like "greed is bad mkay?", just pointing out the obvious.

Okay, do we know which instructions are those?

Which again doesn't defeat my point? Technical limitations are what they are. Artificial limitations are greed. Using your argument above, what should I make of it in the topic at hand? That Windows 11 are technically incompatible with CPUs older than 8xxx series? Sure, I'll bite. Can somebody...

Which still have to physically fir the car. And if they do fit, nobody can stop you from putting them on.

There are no car specific rims, there are just different size standards based in width and girth :) If you own a car that takes a specific set of tires, you should be able to replace them with new ones when they go bad. Upgrading to a new car that uses a different set is irrelevant. You don't...

I don't thin you understood my point. Anyway, I'm done arguing. I think we all know what's happening here but some people just can't give microsoft any wrong, no matter what. I like to be critical of the products I like so they can remain good.

Hey I was trying to be more American duh! :D

This comparison would be more accurate if you wanted to change your tires but the tire manufacturer let you know that you need a new car ;)

But that's exactly what I am asking for sir. If this was a case of Windows 11 needing a specific CPU instruction that my CPU doesn't have, then it makes sense and I can understand. Just how DirectX 12 is actually needed now for certain UI elements and features like auto-hdr.

Up to date means it's the latest thing that's out. Sure it might not be a practical need, heck I could go back to Windows 7 and I'd be pretty happy. But why not be on the latest thing if your hardware can take it? Why should someone just decide you're not allowed to? I'm not feeling entitled. I...

So, a CPU inside low end netbook sold today, can outperform high end CPUs of 4-5 years ago? Add as many parameters you want. I wanted to hear specific instructions because that's what actually the judge of "will do what it was made for but no more". If we aren't talking features, we are talking...

They are pushing anyone that wants to have up to date software... Twisting the main argument at hand won't help your point. I don't expect them to adapt anything, there is nothing to be adapted. Windows 11 is pretty much Windows 10 with a new UI and certain new bits here and there. The reason...
