Hmmmmm ..... so I guess those still on the older hardware will be forced to buy new hardware with LOTS of memory to accommodate a bunch of new features that they don't really need, and not having a choice to decide which features NOT to install or update.  Can't help but think that Microsoft created Windows 11 with that view too. To make sure to really rid themselves of Windows 8 users. And to get them to invest in new hardware and new OS.  

I absolutely hate Microsoft Teams.  When I was trying it last year this time, it was very complicated to set up, dragging, a total pain.  Really, time to move away from Microsoft for sure.  Microsoft is in it for making lots and lots of money, and also for its hardware partners.

Well, it's true that these new limitations require new hardware but we are talking about features that are a implemented since post-2015 hardware. Almost 7 years has been passed (counting like 2022 because it is the year of Windows 11's release)... I know that no everyone upgrades it's pc every 1,2,4 years but if Microsoft wants to innovate... they can't stick with older hardware. I mean Secure Boot and TPM are feature with the aim to provide better security to the end user.

Moreover, Windows 10 will be supported until 2025, so there are another 4 years of support for people that will not upgrade their pc. Will someone change it's PC on a 11 year time span? Probably.

I am not blaming @deanhills himself ... but why complain about this?
I mean... Apple deprecates it's own pc after some years, there are Apple's machine stucked at Mountain Lion or older because they don't get the upgrade to the newer OS. Why no one complained to Apple? 
Microsoft did an amazing job with their OSes (XP, Vista........, 7, 8..., 8.1 and 10), which support A LOT OF HARDWARE. Now, for the first time, Microsoft tries to put new minimal requirements and all the web is crying.

Unix-OS are a different world, full open source with no commercial agreements or anything like that. It's kernel (that is called Linux) has a lot of driver embed and there is no need to do a "refresh", because the community (who controls the development) don't feel the need to, for now.
