Comment on Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?

making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch

The switch from Win 10 to Win 11 costs nothing, so Microsoft doesn’t care at all whether you keep using 10 until your PC dies.
The next one you buy will come with 11 preinstalled.

Microsoft doesn’t care if you install Linux either.
You’ve already paid for the Windows license when you bought the PC.

But they can’t track you as much on windows 10, and almost not at all on linux

  Telemetry data doesn’t make the CEO rich.
  Microsoft makes their money from cloud services for businesses, the desktop OS is a loss leader that’s designed to get people to use the cloud services.

    M365 including Intune, Entra, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and Office.
    I don’t understand what you mean by “Windows OS isn’t possible”.

    I guess most people still access the internet. Websites track you no matter what OS you use.

This assumes you bought a pre-made machine. Building your own won’t have any OS you didn’t install yourself.

  That’s such a tiny market that it’s completely irrelevant to a company like Microsoft.
