It's good except for the fact that Windows 11 is tied to a piece of hardware level security of supposedly nebulous benefit to your average home user. So tons of computers that would otherwise be fine are going to end up being entirely replaced and turned into e-waste instead because their motherboard doesn't have a TMP chip on it.
But that's an issue with Microsoft requiring TMP for Windows 11, not them telling people that they're gonna stop getting stuff like security updates.
