If I look at what Windows 11 is, its features and the new features, I honestly can’t work out who Microsoft’s target market is anymore.

With the pricing for AI, I can’t even work out which enterprises would consume it.

Here's the funny thing. Some enterprise sectors will not use W11 until it has some sysadmin reliable way to disable all the telemetry. In my company W11 and Chrome are banned because they cannot be locked down from phoning home, which is a security liability. No way they're going to allow a rogue blackbox LLM running wild in our computers.

You just have to use the Enterprise addition and group policy out their stuff. It isn't really hard if you have been doing it with Windows 10 but you have to start with the Enterprise addition and that can be $$$

They explored that option and find it not secure enough. Even with strict group policy settings W11 still misbehaves. We are locked to W10 for the time being, but ICT is not convinced for how long we can keep it.

they are making excuses, I get to see the firewall data and Win11 isn't really different from Win10 that hasn't been cleaned up

The thing is, if you use Office 365 the point is moot and if you use any cloud system, its straight out the door already

They get to spy and keep your Corp data if they add ai, it's a win for MS
