Microsoft Lied About Windows 11

[p_]

Forget about Can it run doom, now we can Can it run windows 11?

[hershmergersh]

Didn't they tell us Windows 10 was meant to be the last Windows we would ever need?

[KingKusuo]

"Microsoft is lying to you-"
Oh, who would have thought.

[GravitasZero]

“A large corporation is lying to you”
Yeah, that’s pretty much the freebie on my daily bingo card

[beepbop]

The OS is supposed to be a mostly invisible layer between your apps and your hardware. Microsoft seems to think the OS is the goal, when it is just (one of many) means to the goal.

[_EyeOfTheTiger]

Tiny11 helps with purpose built hardware applications where you just need windows to run applications and you don’t need or will ever use any of the features of windows ever

[SireDragonChester]

It’s also proof of how much BLOAT they have added to windows 11.

[MarcoOS]

An OS shouldn't take that much of resources as windows 11 does

[hemingttv]

I wish we could just pick which tools we want in our windows during installation. Like don’t download edge but do download the snipping tool because I use it all the time

[mrflappie]

I could never imagine a time where PC's could run Crysis at maximum settings but not run the latest Windows OS. But here we are.

[Starflare]

There are software companies hating on 11 so much that they're even extending their support for Windows 8.1 and 10.

[spinasoul]

The issue is optimisation, OS, games, software... They have stopped caring about making it available to as low specs as possible and have started to say "if they dont have enough they should pay more"

[enderattack]

Lets hope that Microsoft doesn't start making Updates to 11 that are aimed to directly brick tiny 11

[generaleerelativity]

All the extra space required is for the obscene amount of bloatware apps running in the background. There's a huge market out there for devices completely devoid of all this junk that YOU don't use (but the companies use to spy on you) and I can't believe that nobody's jumped on this opportunity yet. I would be a lifelong customer of a company that manufactures blank customizable products.

Less then 256mb RAM is what we used to run XP on. It goes to show you how much bloat there is on a modern OS. If we disable all the building mallware, the OS can revert back to been light as it used to.

[elani]

The worst part isn't the ram requirement, it's almost impossible to find something below 4gb nowadays but the CPU requirement? It's insane to expect everyone to have something from Intel 8th gen or later, my old laptop had a 7th gen, my old work PC had an AMD A4 4000, and god knows that cheap boomer bosses won't be updating their 15-20 year old computers, lot of people don't have money to buy new computers, switching a CPU isn't as easy as adding RAM

[wild.legend-music]

Man I remember running Windows XP, a version of windows with packed with more USEFUL (to the user) features on 128MB ram machine.

[GSFigure]

Gotta have that bloatware and spyware! What if all our users go to the more light-weight, less invasive fork of our OS? _WE NEED DA DATA!_

[theinacircleoftheancientpu]

Once Microsoft tried messing around with subscription and forced system updates I was done with trusting them.
We have to find alternatives now.

[RedSntDK]

I mean, keep fighting that Sisyphean battle I guess. I just left the boulder at the foot of the mountain and went with the friendly penguin instead.
