Quite surprised that they are pushing that, seeing as one of the biggest obstacles for Windows 11 getting adopted was that a lot of the existing hardware didn't support the TPM requirements it put in place.

Doing it again so soon seems like a recipe to make people not want to use 12 at all. After all, Windows 11 works fine for them, why change so soon?

Calling it: win12 will have a thin client cloud hosted SaaS edition, for those who can't afford new ai-priced hardware.
