[NTLUG:Discuss] Fwd: [Notify] Windows 11.....

[Cornelius Keck]

Speaking of Linux:

The usual distributions do updates and upgrades just fine. That includes 
the folks from across the aisle, i.e. the BSDs (Oracle's Solaris priced 
itself out of the market, oops, nothing to see there).

Furthermore, there's another heavyweight contender in that space, as 
Google's ChromeBooks are Linux-based, with a bunch of add-ons to ease 
(make that typically eliminate) all and any upgrade pains as much as 
possible even for the non-technical-savvy end user.

If Google (whose Chromebooks are not necessarily the main and only 
business case) can do this repeatedly, reliably and with ease, why can't 
Microsoft, a company whose business case is centered around an OS and 
office suite?

Good thing this thing is only a terminal. Which, considering how much 
Mickeysoft tries to tie user devices to its corporate backend, appears 
to be a trend, i.e. MS copying Google's business design. But, why would 
one then shell out big time $$$$$ for an MS-terminal if a Chrome 
terminal can be had for much less?
