No more forced junk and changes I have to undo? My computer can stay the exact way I like it for a long period of time without Microsoft fucking it up? Sounds like a dream.
Due to the embedded insecurity of our system we are forced to upgrade all of Earth’s computers as remediation. While you sit tight for updates, all computers will run at half speed. Once the new chipsets are available, you may purchase them on a subscription basis.
This is a meme about enterprise equipment lifecycles.
Huge corporate entities with machine inventory counts in the hundreds of thousands aren’t going to give a shit about trying to upcycle old hardware - they just want it to not be their problem anymore.
I predict there will be a few companies that pop up to refurbish the hardware and sell it as a thin client solution. Places like call centers live on refurb equipment and are moving to a vdi infrastructure.
W11 and anything after it simply does not support any intel cpu before 10th gen, or (with a handful of exceptions) any AMD cpu before the 3000 series.
Edit: serious question: are W12 thin clients allowed to not have a TPM module? Or does that not actually matter for a thin client? I had assumed all machines involved had to have that capability, be it host or client.
E2: clearly I need to learn more about thin clients and related infra
Yeah, i know just because of the security vulnerabilities, but it was for a long time better OS than windows 10 or 11, and because of that i switched to linux,
People are still running Win7 without pause. Don’t kid yourself!
„No update? So no more forced restart? Neat“

Your desktop is almost ready…

Anyone else remember Meltdown and Spectre 2018?

Thin client for windows 12 🧠

🤔 I’m going out on a limb here and assuming you don’t know what a thin client is and that there are rumors windows 12 will be a cloud product?
If you knew that already though, then I’m puzzled by your comment.

Yeah Win7 is still good in comparison to win 11
Steam discontinued Win 7 and they told everyone linux would be next, but then why? Linux is up to date
edit: they* i mean Windows 7 users with it, sorry for the confusion!
Win7 might have been a good OS, but it no longer is unless it never touches the internet.
