Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account
DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 5 weeks agoIf that actually becomes a thing people do, that could prompt MS to start to require either a face scan or showing some government ID just to install Windows, though, if the way Google’s handling KYC on YT if your account gets flagged as underage, and soon Android app dev, as well as KYC going out across other sites, is any indication.

Let them. The entire world is slowly migrating to Mac and Linux. I haven’t even had the option of windows at my last 3 jobs. (To be fair, I’ve never had the option of desktop Linux, but this last one said pick a computer—I’m not positive that they would’ve balked at Linux.) That said, idk what’s so great about Mac over Linux, but I guess it’s not corporate friendly.
I’m trying to think of which MS products we even have in our ecosystem. Office, I guess. Corporate world will never wean themselves off of Excel.

“The entire world” lol. I applaud your optimism.

have a look at the steam hardware survey results or basically any other statistics and see that it’s not the case.
