I agree with you, even though I have an MS account, so I can transfer licenses. But sadly, you and the other guys who posted in this thread are a minuscule percentage of total Windows home users.
But then you also have to remember that Microsoft lost a lawsuit when somebody who had a local account, enabled BitLocker, lost their key and locked themselves out of the system destroying all their data.
Which a Microsoft account, or Google...
Not suprising....(another reason why I am glad nix is my main OS!)

Yeah, but I can just imagine an ARISTA C-level meeting, where the VP of support complains that he/she has to support individuals who don't pay much. So in their infinite wisdom they decide that even small fry have to pay enterprise support...
Reality check:
The article linked by TomsHardware is a Chinese news article, written in China. So if you are claiming that Chinese newspapers are writing articles pushing pro-US, anti-China propaganda, I'd say that's pretty unlikely... or an...
Funny how they push the propaganda about their domestic tech getting better and better, but in reality they are still desperate even for low-end Nvidia technology.
games are so communication-dependent that a lack of memory channels will bite you in the ass long before you pass cores at full utilization.
Many here would likely be shocked at how much time many of those cores are wasting spinning their wheels...
No, Apple implements things far more intelligently than that. You can either use the network OR a Thunderbolt cable and it works natively with MacOS without any third party software. My travel setup is incredible for productivity; Macbook 14 in...
So they also got Nvidia design suite too.
ASML uses it to optimize their tools, TSMC uses it to optimize their design tools.
AMD uses it to test iterative changes in their designs, and their performance impacts. What if we moved this part over...
Yep the 980 Pro was mentioned, and Samsung got a black eye for that one, but it doesn't appear to really be part of an overall pattern of behavior. Whereas the OEM's mixing and matching components as well as changing them without notice as they...
Fine with me, especially if they go back to lower latency NAND. I’d much rather have a 1Tb latency optimized SLC NVME drive than a 16 TB QLC drive. A low latency drive really improves the use case I want a NVME drive for. For bulk storage, I’m...
The messaging here is that they are fully vertical, while the rest of the market tends to be drives built with a hodge podge of third party components. It doesn't make Samsung drives immune to problems - the 980 Pro had some turbulence - but...
You have to go back 7+ years now to find CPUs that don't support Windows 11. Any system that can still reasonably be considered new will support Windows 11. If your PC is only "a few years old" then it's almost certainly supported. Most CPUs...
If you bought a solid one to start I don't see why not at this rate.
I plan to grab Zen5 and whatever comes after on AM5 (if anything), I see no reason why my Taichi won't be just fine.
