The update wasn’t supposed to reach dual-boot PCs.

    I’d almost bet money that in a year or two they’ll make it so that the latest version of windows cannot be installed in virtual machines

      That would break 90+% of installations then. And all of Azure.

        That’s when they “graciously” offer to whitelist “approved” devices to boot windows VM from.

          Then anyone running a Windows VM would just switch to a Server edition, which is almost exclusively run via a VM.

            I have a morbid curiosity to see that happen.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
