You know, I see this as tax.
You can't upgrade to the next Windows for free because according to Microsoft, certain hardware requirements must be met.
Meanwhile, Windows 11 runs just fine in a VM, without any HW whatsoever.
This will either a) become a class-action lawsuit because MS is abusing its powers, forcing people either to pay subscription fees or purchase expensive new hardware, or b) there will be a new breed of pirates, spreading Windows patches with malware included.

Idk, but it's pretty crappy either way. They can't admit their Win11 sucks bad and that's the reason so many are still on Win10.. I personally don't care for their stripped down, made for n00bs POS OS.

Now I'm just waiting for the expected "oh there is a really bad bug in Win10, you better pay to get the patch" BS.

I'm going to continue on Win10 regardless until I know more about their next POS OS but I'm pretty close to moving to Linux...because I have just had about enough...
