This article sums up some previously posted threads in the old Tech Outpost on the old forums I posted. The issues I have are, that MS doesn’t give a rats rear end about the climatic costs, nor, the economic issues associated with trashing perfectly good working hardware. And fairly new hardware mind you, just to make them happy. Smaller land fills and a world where we can survive will far outlast Microsoft when the next epic OS comes along. On the other side of the fence, lies Linux, MS and Apple both know it, they also know, as other companies should, greed will bankrupt a company faster than anything else. Ignoring its consequences hastens that pace at breakneck speeds. Companies better wake up, really darned fast.

In the continuing saga of Microsoft throwing its customers in the recycle bin without any regard. Here is another example of it with the Surface Duo 2. Dumping customers after just two updates, now, no more support period.
Microsoft also wants to force AI in everyone’s face with the Co-pilot + PC issues.
Adding further insult to injury: Cavalier regard for environmental costs to the US and beyond with ending support for not only good hardware but devices in general. Its time for a wakeup call for MS.
Even more, MS dragging even Windows 11 into their AI Co-pilot money grab.
*The end game for all this appears to what was reported long ago. Windows becoming a paid subscription for everyone. Not just cloud computing services for corporations.
Microsoft goes yet another step toward taking full control of devices Windows 11 24H2 is and will be installed on. What a mess!!
