What strikes me as a not very legitimate rumor is the NPU requirement. I upgraded to a high end CPU last year and it lacks a NPU. If it becomes a requirement, they'd exclude most of the consumer space. The tpu requirement wasn't that bad as it had been around for a while.

AI will be a focus, though, I guess. Gonna skip 12 if this becomes reality.

AI hallucination.

Subscription based?

Guess EU will speed up moving to Linux. Good for us :)

Edit: I see that only certain AI features gonna be subscription fee locked, but OS will stay 1 time purchase.

Is that a way to make win11 less unpopular?
