The business model behind the subscription based licensing model is developing products less and less compatible with the niches like TV broadcast and TV production. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time now. Personally I'm waiting as long as I can and plan on staying with W10 as long as possible. They're saying W11 should work on machines 18-24 months old. They don't state it outright as a requirement and only mention it in reference to the Home version, but they're not real clear about this in the W11 Business/Microsoft 365 cut-sheet.

Not sure how that affects the upgrade process.Īs far as I can tell they are going to great lengths to make people aware the Internet connection and MS account is a requirement for the Home edition but not the Business version.

Plus there's a TPM 2.0 chip in a W11 machine that provides " hardware-based isolation, proven encryption".

Of course it's not until you install the OS that you can change your own email address to your MS account. if it will let you, sometimes that can be rather "sticky" process. After you install I would hope you could change your own email to your MS account. (My Office 365 account uses my as my MS Account) But you'll probably need a free address at least to get through the install. It seems very Googlish in how they want to wrap their OS around a MS account like a Gmail account. If you get S you can switch to the "regular" Win OS but can't go back to S. (I can't imagine using AvidLink within a MS "wall") I wouldn't buy a S version of the MS OS.

So, for those who have do not want the Apple abuse, can't tolerate the upcoming MS abuse, will Avid be developing a version of Media Composer for Linux?Īs a side note, can someone explain the difference between ransomware and subscription software? "Pay by date certain, otherwise you will not be able to access content you created because it is encoded (encrypted) in our proprietary format."Īs far as I can tell they are trying to get people to use the new S version of Windows which, like Mr Cole said, requires any software you install be available through the MS Store, which is a non-starter as we oftern need odd-ball utilities or software such as VLC, or MC etc etc that problaby wont be in their store. It too will require full-time connection to MS servers as it will "stream" each "feature" to you as you need it (and, of course, stream back to MS servers all your keystrokes so they can determine if/when you need a new services or state-change in an running service etc.) And due to the increased MS tendency to post notifications about their own wonderfullness, great news, and amazing apps you can't live without, I can envision editing sessions constantly interrupted by MS "market-ware" announcements. There were no details on a "Pro" version of Windows 11 but a news release from Geekwire indicated it might be titled "Windows 365", a streamed, cloud-based subscription operating system costing up to $162 per month depending on the features a user selects to use. This apparently means NOT Media Composer. If you do not want to be logged into your MS account, you can operate in "S mode" (Secure mode) which will only allow you to run apps from the MS store in the "Micosoft Edge Secure Browser". From early announcements it appears that Windows 11 (at least home edition) requires you to use a MS account to install, activate and use the OS fully.
