Comment on How to Actually Clean Install Windows 11

  they are moving in a positive direction, but the ads, bloat, spyware, needs to go

  They’re going nowhere. They’re entrenched, they own most of the business world, they will never face serious kickback for their design decisions.

  This isn’t ever going to change. The only thing they’ll do is give tools to Enterprise editions for businesses to control the instal, and only via Azure, at a price point far too high for the average user. Anything less than Enterprise will be locked down and monetized to hell and back.

    They're not offsetting anything, they still charge money for the boxed copy sold in stores. This is pure profit for them.

    I don’t know why gen z is being portrayed as tech illiterate everywhere on lemmy. We grew up with technology and half of us are adults already

      Growing up with technology doesn’t automatically grant you knowledge of it. Kids that grow up with iPads are capable of using iPads, but sit them in front of a computer and they’ll be lost. Being technically literate is more than just being able to install an app from the app store.

        Technically true yes but that is not going to be that way for everyone gen z are also people who are capable of learning. I personally am a tech and privacy nerd and know that not everyone of my generation is as interested but I am also sick off people branding gen z as dumb children on here, hell most of us are adults already.

    Yeah windows 11 is laying ground work for all of this.

    It seems like they have decided that plebs and OEMs paying licenses was not a good business model.

    Really makes you wonder where the entire business world is heading. It seems every company starting to prefer this route.

    Not until Gen Z gets old enough and numerous enough to start pushing workplaces to adopt Apple, and that’s an even worse direction.

    I am a bit weirded out by such an association. Around me, I do see a few people with Apple tech, but they’re a minority. How would people that are able to afford these products be numerous enough to matter?

    Elder millennial here. This was said of us, too. I remember main framers sometimes noting this direction and poking fun.

    Yet here I am and the world keeps chugging along in similar ways.

  They just introduced them. What makes you think this isn't an integral part of the future of Windows?

    Win12 isn’t gonna run locally. OS as a service.

      Window Sun Ray edition…

  I think they'll go even harder, making Windows only run stuff purchased through the Windows Store so they can completely lock in the market.

    For “security“

    • rastilin@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Absolutely. The security argument is used so often I'm surprised people aren't more cynical about it.

    They already have a Windows “S” mode or whatever it’s called that does this. People will reject it, even casual users. I had one person ask me to turn off this mode to their kid could play Roblox. They just want to run apps, they don’t care how they work.

  (and finally put a nail in the old interfaces from XP and before)

  that’s probably not going to happen because it will break some programs

    Honestly, there are some apps out there they need complete overhauls or to be completely replaced.
