Microsoft can suck the juices out of my ass and thank me for it.

Steamdeck ahoy, then. The only reason I have a Windows box at all is for gaming.

Windows 12? Did they ever explicitly revoke the "Windows 10 will be the last"?

I thought 11 was an exception die to the hardware requirements.

But I guess any big enough change can be a new reason for the next.

So there is already a thing with Windows 11 where you can, as part of a Microsoft 365 subscription, upgrade your Windows 11 machine from Pro to Enterprise.

The idea of having the base OS be a subscription is really just a stones throw away.

... but the Pro -> Ent activation process is really a PITA and often randomly PC's will revert back to Pro after they've been ugpraded, so I guess we'll have fun with that.
