We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

Any windows fanboy cares to explain how this supposedly enhances a user’s security?

The spin on requiring an internet connection being phrased as ‘ensures all users exit setup with internet connectivity’ is amazing too.

It’s double speak.

It’s like when they say “We value your privacy” it really means “Selling your data is worth a lot of money/value to me”.

“User Security” means “We want to secure customers/users for our cloud services by forcing a login to a microsoft account”

My favorite iteration of the first point is “we take your privacy seriously” to “we take your privacy. seriously.”
