what is everyone take on MS's announcement of Win11
Forcing everyone to have Intel CPU of 8th gen or Above
TPM 2.0
if you don't have the spec they want. MS have in essence have just gone screw you buy a new computer or don't use our OS!
wander if they will fall back on the idea and allow all Specs like that did with windows 10
already seen TPM module prices go through the roof on ebay , people buying them up already! now another thing being scalped , whats next you must have a MS Branded Mobo or its not compatible

Personally I won't be using it, since there seems to be no point. Not sure what benefits it has other than being new.
We're already talking about this @ https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/172303/will-you-upgrade-to-windows-11-from-day-one-or-later/p1
i personally wouldnt use until its been out for some time anyhow , will be too many bugs , just hate MS forcing everyone to have up to date pcs to use it.

Super , doubt there is a bypass for older pcs too
TPM reqs bypass key?
for sure Win 11 will have even more brute force mechanism of forcing Windows Updates, and you will never know the day or night, when you receive some "update" closing this hole...
and you will stuck in the middle of nowhere with some blue/green screen i.e. during making business presentation
for what? for Android apps provided by Microsoft Store sourced from Amazon Store, which were never meant/optimized/tested for such big screen and mouse?
or for that adrenaline smell at the morning watching if it starts or not
Put on a non-Windows hypervisor. Install Windows 11 in a VM. Boom, your unsupported hardware is running Windows 11.
