Nothing about the TPM requirement to run Windows 11? I suppose this makes it not possible to install Windows 11 through bootcamp or even virtualisation on a Mac? I imagine there will be a workaround eventually.
Got a tip for us?

Windows 11 Will Run Android Apps From Amazon Appstore

There have been multiple versions of Windows 10. Just because they all say Windows 10 doesn't mean they're the same. It's similar to how there have been multiple versions of OS X.

And that's totally okay, while Apple disallow any kind of bypass on iOS,iPadOS.
Apple will face the law and I'm looking forward to the enforced openness.
Microsoft, Android, and Amazon joining forces? and still can't touch Apple. ??
VMware's virtualization softwares can virtualize TPM. And I'm sure others might do the same.
Macs don't have and never had TPM.
Yes and no. If you use their payment processor they will charge 30%, but you can list your app in their app store and use the payment processor of your choice without any additional fees from Microsoft. It’s actually a really good approach and a direct jab at Apple.
Sorry but that just show how many people around the world wanted to watch the presentation. YUUUGE!

2 Trillion Dollar Company. Microsoft isn't playing around either.
That's just because how Microsoft had changed its naming/numbering...There have been multiple versions of Windows 10. Just because they all say Windows 10 doesn't mean they're the same. It's similar to how there have been multiple versions of OS X.

Previous versions of Windows had multiple "service packs".
I know it's only one example, but I have an Insta360 camera. The desktop app is quite poor, but the phone app is excellent. I look forward to seeing how the phone app works on my Surface Pro 7.
I would also say the phone version of Facebook is better than the website, for most uses, and there are several small photography apps (dof calculators etc) that I use regularly that are simply not available for desktop.
I was planning a move back to Macs from Windows later this year or when the M1X/M2 processors come out but this new Windows 11 gives me pause for thought. I've changed my position from "definitely changing - it's just a matter if when" to "wait and see"
Didn't Apple once promise IOS apps working on Macs, even INTEL macs before Apple Silicon was announced? Looks like Microsoft has beat them already again. How is that closed market strategy working for you Apple? For iPhone yeah, but not so much the Mac. 
FWIW, the PC Health Check app says that my Windows 10 ARM VM won't run Windows 11. I wonder if Corel will work out a licensing arrangement with Microsoft to enable Windows 11 to run on M1 Macs through Parallels Desktop.
No, they never promised iOS apps working on Intel Macs. They have made it easier for developers to port iOS apps to the Mac.Didn't Apple once promise IOS apps working on Macs, even INTEL macs before Apple Silicon was announced?

This is certainly the most Apple-like I've ever seen Microsoft. Intel/AMD started to add TPM support to CPUs from 2014 and later.
So, more or less all CPUs older than 2015 or so, are definitely not supported by Windows 11.
It's a rather arbitrary requirement, and does ensure the uptake of Windows 11 will be far slower than Windows 10.
Of the x86, Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge CPUs are therefore not supported. They're powerful enough to run W11, they just don't have TPM and only Ryzen CPUs from AMD will be able to run W11.
A brave choice, Microsoft.

Why Apple doesn’t let me just run any ipa on my Mac is super disappointing, I can run any iPhone app on my iPad.
Used to. Still do on Xbox. With Win11 it’s 12% if you use MS’s payment system or devs can use their own. Deliberate shot at Apple and Google.
Microsoft moved the taskbar & start menu to the centre, added widgets and made the corners round….. doesn’t constitute much of a redesign…..
Well, i wonder if you can side load the Play store as well as well as other apps and not just rely on the Amazon store. Not sure how this is gonna work out yet until we get more information.
There is an app for that! At least one: bluestacks runs on macOS So there!
You're not wrong, since TPM is a software platform which Apple does not support.
That being said, all Intel CPUs from Haswell/Broadwell era and on, have built in hardware support for TPM.
The "Intel Platform Trust Technology", so that's all Windows needs to have fully functional TPM.
