It's almost like artificially limiting adoption to all computers made in ~2018 or later would do that. Software TPM 2 has been present in systems since Haswell (~2014) yet even people with Zen 1 Threadrippers got dicked out of "official" upgrade support due to their computer's age.

Seriously no reason to use it over win10 enterprise iot ltsc 21h2 other than the cpu scheduler in intel 13th gen

My only interactions with Windows are on company equipment and I eagerly await Win11. By the gods I need tabs in the file explorer. I know there are Win10 solutions but the system is locked down because it is company equipment. And I ain't got time nor energy for chats with IT/HR.

I both can’t upgrade most of my devices, and have switched to linux on my home pc (in a dualboot with windows still) but use linux mainly. Been pretty nice so far.

I live in fear that one day IT will tell me my work computer needs to move to 11. Its bad enough I need to spend 1/3rd of my day using Windows, I don't need it to be Windows+Ads

Maybe because it's garbage and a worsening of everything people hate about what Windows is becoming? Nah, it's the consumer that's wrong....
