Here's the funniest thing I've witnessed Microsoft has just developed a Windows 11 copy for the Chinese government
Dubbed "G Edition"
Has absolutely zero software ootb, not even Defender
I think they have no choice, because China would double down on their state open-source projects
They wouldn't want to lose a large chunk of their user base anyways
Thing is You think they'd want to make a Windows 10 G Edition as well?
Windows 10's market share is still increasing despite EOL looming closer and closer.
And it isn't helped by the fact that 0patch has stated they will continue to provide security updates for 10 up to 2030
They can't really have too much of a say because of the market as it is right now. 11 has done them some pain, but it don't matter because Windows has long been shelved as a source of money - they get a lot more money from Azure and Office products.
