- chrisandchris 3y agoSo you'll be forced to get a TMP-device just to use M365, a piece of software you already use on another device for years?
- pxeboot 3y agoI imagine Windows 11 without a TPM will be treated like a rooted Android device. It may work, but many apps, Office 365 in this case, will enforce their own TPM requirements.
- simonblack 3y agoSo, let me see. Office 365 won't run on my perfectly-good machine. That means that Office 365 will have to get the boot. As an 'oldie', I can remember when every office computer had to have .doc capability. I haven't seen a .doc file (including .docx) for years. Everybody uses .pdf these days. Why? Simply because there's no bullshit about reading or writing .pdf files.
