  • CPU NPU requirements will mean longer support necessity for Windows 11.

    If they go ahead with subscriptions, demand will certainly add additional demand for that. But I guess subscriptions would be to cover copilot cost. Given Microsoft’s interest in people upgrading to eventually reduce support surface, I have to assume it will be optional, for AI features. Following that reasoning, the NPU requirement may be optional too, only applicable to the AI features block.

    But who knows, the whole thing is not driven by reasonable business decisions anyway.
