OtterMicrosoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps
Australis13I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.
In the article all apps mentioned are very old versions. How exactly this was a final straw for you?
Because clickbait headlines are surprisingly effective.
RetrogradeLol yeah. I use windows 11 for my gaming rig and this effects me in zero ways
Because they shouldn’t be doing this at all. The versions of the apps in question, and even which specific apps, are complete irrelevant.
Because I haven't yet updated from Windows 10 to 11 and had been putting it off. In the past week, though, I have seen a number of news articles highlighting issues I am going to have with Windows 11 and this particular article, indicating that they have been effectively leaving systems vulnerable simply because they have applications they don't like installed is just not good enough. I'd understand it if they were saying "we can't guarantee your OS stability with these apps" or "we can't guarantee these apps will work anymore" if they were removing older API support, but this is ridiculous.
