Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

  Oof.

  We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

  Absolute bullshit

  So even TFA says it’s not completely going away. It’s just switching from a command to a registry entry. Additionally Windows 11 Enterprise most likely won’t be affected or LTSC.

  I’m never deleting the Windows 11 installer ISO I downloaded months ago.

  Microsoft made some bullshit mandatory to lock in users as data chattel?

    Probably better using 7 or Xp if you don’t need it going on the internet

  Come children come to Linux. Debian is your new Father…

    I was a Debian guy for years now. Running on all my servers and virtual machines, but never got to be satisfied with it enough to “format Windows” out of my main computer. Until one day I discovered Aurora and relatives. That’s it, that’s the endgame for me. Literally everything works out of the box including support for legacy Nvidia cards, g-sync, scaling etc. and I can fully understand and like their design decisions (hell, with brew it will be just like having a Mac). I’m done with Windows before this year ends.

      No doubt. I’ve been exploring Linux distros all day today.

    Also fuck you if your wifi drivers aren’t built in to windows.

      Actually, setup allows for wifi drivers to be loaded in lol

      but above all, fuck you if you care at all about your privacy, and if you think it is more important than our profits
