Windows 11 is coming

[Fairlight]

Knowing how most people around here are running on aged systems, that
might be rough.  If you don't have TPM 2 onboard your motherboard, you
cannot run it.

Most hardware is going to get dropped.

I have four years to spec out and buy a new system.  Next one will cost
me about what the last one did.  Just specced out what I'd buy if I were
doing it tomorrow.  $5730 after tax.  I dumped about $5500 into the
current iteration.  At least top-of-the-line is staying fairly
consistent.  Dropping slightly, if you consider inflation, and the fact
that I -didn't- toss the top-of-the-line graphics card into this one,
originally.  I've upgraded twice and now have the fastest RTX 2080 Ti,
but this one started with a GTX 770.

It'll be fine.  I have time.  My current system also kicks the ass of
most people's systems.  That'll happen when you buy the best, planning
for an 8+ year life-cycle.

Just don't expect just any ol' system to run Win11.  The specs say no.
And it's not even on performance grounds.  It's literally on TPM 2
grounds.

I'm more pissed about the fact they outright lied to everyone.  They
said Win10 would be the last release number of Windows, and it would be
perpetual streaming delivery.  So, now we know we cannot trust a thing
they say.  Awesome.  This is almost as bad as Obama swearing, "You can
keep your plan!"
