    Ampere processors are 80 or 128 cores per processor. There's a reason people who know what they're doing use Linux distro's for their server OS

    They are charging (a lot!) per core for server OS now (from 2016), fook that tulip on 64-128 core boxes

    It was bad enough paying 800 quid for “Standard” edition, now costs will be crazy

    Why are big companies still supporting this crap?

    It's great to see Microsoft being so original with Win11

    Not me

    I'll wait a few years until it sort of starts working ok.
    We're better off waiting for Windows 12, seriously.

    Microsoft releases seem to work on an involuntary tick-tock principle, where the "ticks" are a pile of junk and they then manage to pull it together in time for the "tock"

    Yep, they did: https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/85...ion-of-windows
    They did, El Reg brought this very point up recently when MS released the end of support date for Win10

    Nope not interested. I've got W10 on my development box but the last update wouldn't so updates are now disabled and I'll simply run it until I don't have any Windoze dependencies caused by client requirements. My new mini dev box is Fedora as are all my servers and the main dev box will be Fedora at the next tech upgrade
