as opposed to MS install thier proprietary spyware.
My prediction:
They’ll quietly switch it to be enabled by default in 6 months, re-enable it on every major update, and hide the “disable permanently” toggle in a group policy or registry key.
But when you get infected they’ll point to this statement and say it’s your fault.I found the Group Policy feature on Windows XP Pro back in the early 2000s. Learned a lot about how Windows actually worked under the hood. I never ran any Home version ever again after that.
Home has same features but not activated.so you could enable group policy in home version too. Well fck MS anyway
Not really, home edition has a subset of the group policy compared to pro or enterprise…
The Home version also has many other features that are disabled compared to the Pro/Enterprise versions. It stands to reason that this could also have an impact on the group policy, which offers far less because so many other things are disabled. Of course, it cannot be activated easily and many things are prevented, but theoretically, all of this would also be available in the home version. As long as you do not use a customized or self-created ISO, but the standard ISO image from MS. Ultimately, the key that is subsequently activated and what is not is decisive.
However, I don’t want to contradict you that the Pro/Enterprise version would be the smarter choice from the outset, because that’s definitely true.
I had the same prediction. This is going to be so hilarious when it happens.
Every time I read about these “upgrades”, I’m glad I ditched Windows on my personal computers.
Yeah, I still need Windows on my laptop for some schoolwork(GX works 2 for PLCs), that I can’t get to work on linux.
Really happy with Fedora KDE though, some things require a bit of fiddling, but I do enjoy the troubleshooting process.
I am guessing that the next version of Windows will require a valid credit card number while being set up. That way Copilot can purchase and install other Microsoft products for you automatically in order to complete tasks it thinks you assigned it. Your acceptance of the EULA will be all the justification they need.
I mean, it’s perfectly sound advice. Don’t enable features you don’t understand. There are already plenty of features in Windows that would be privacy or security problems if you enable them without understanding what they do or how to use them.
