  Isn’t the IoT version missing some features?

  The real fix is to switch to Linux.

  Also, what’s wrong with Clippy?

    IoT is missing all the features I hate, but they can usually be installed manually if desired.

    I’m holding out till 2032 for Linux by which time I will be dead or ready to switch.

    I was one of those cool 90’s kids who hated Clippy, and I am still just as immature.

      Why are you waiting so long? Windows XP pushed me over the edge and I switched to Linux then. Everything was suddenly better. Computers were useful and fun again.

      What are you waiting for?

      I always liked the red ball and the wizard more than Clippy anyways.

    the windows store is not a real feature

    source

    • dan@upvote.au ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Windows Store is useful for less sophisticated users though. It’s dangerous teaching non-computer-illiterate people to install apps by downloading random EXE files.

    He linked to the Mass Activation Script. The same way I purchase all Microsoft products.

    Yes, purchase legitimately from Microsoft with a genuine Microsoft license key from Microsoft because software piracy is wrong and totally not justified in the face of abusive software monopolies.

  This is sweet! Didn’t realize it existed. Been dreading the 11 BS and clawing all the enshittification out. I wish I could do linux on my main machine, but CAM is still not pro grade.

  I’m using Win11 LTSC and it’s great for the same reasons.

  On the computers I still have running windows, this is what I’m using and I have dodged So much of the bullshit people have been dealing with. I’m still running Linux on my main machines though. Maybe by the end of the year I’ll have migrated everything away from both Microsoft and Google.

  Honestly I’ll just stick to a custom Windows 11 image if I need Windows.

  Chris Titus tech even has a tool to build one
