They won’t force everybody to replace their hardware in a time of memory shortage crisis.
For all the people on here quick to mock others for being gullible enough to fall for AI-generated slop, this is embarrassing.
How can anyone upgrade to a new PC when there is no Ram or hard disks available? This is a crazy time to try to push that.
Linux.
Me getting ready to buy their old CPU and put Linux on it:

Imagine using windows in 2026
Man, Microsoft doubling down on the whole “Let’s force most of our customers to purchase entirely new computers to use the next release!” strategy after it went so well for Windows 11 is just hilarious. Especially with hardware costs skyrocketing due to AI BS.
Never correct your enemy while they are making an error. :D
If it is AI based I guarantee it will be subscription based. That could push me over the edge to some Linux variant.

Y’all know this article is based on a fake article, right?
Lmao, why would anyone want to buy more expensive hardware to run shittier software?
Jesus Christ.
The Microslop train doesn’t stop. It doesn’t falter. It doesn’t slow.
Microslop gon give it to ya.
This year Linux finally goes double digits… thnx microslop
It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.
They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.
