Happy with your existing Windows 10 setup? Good, because Windows 11 could turn its nose up at your CPU

If Microsoft wanted to take a lesson from their venture into phone oses, I'd have thought it would be that you can't leverage market share through forced upgrades if your market share is declining, and perfectly good, not to say, superior, alternatives exist.

Once upon a time, the world was a place where a new version of Windows was an industry defining moment, because there was no real alternative.

Now, people don't need desktops as much as they did, and all other domestic computer types are well served by alternatives to Windows. Maybe this is why Microsoft are giving such a long time to eol W10, to see what happens with W11, especially as what it has to offer is so ho-hum.

And as for the idea that different parts of Microsoft don't talk to each other, that's surely a given
