Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

After using Windows for 30+ years now (since Windows 1), this is one of the straws finally pushing me into Linux.

I'm running 10, but without a TPM, can't go to 11. So sad. Not.

Honestly 7 was the last decent OS they made. In my opinion the good OS's were NT4 (game changer), 2000, XP, 7. They can keep the rest.

You can use the Rufus USB flashing tool with the Windows 11 iso and it will remove the TPM requirement and others.

Yeah I have windows 11 on multiple computers without secure boot or tpm enabled

This breaks your ability to get security updates on win11 though right?

3.1 and 98se were pretty decent at the time too.
