I think people are blowing the "unsupported" word out of proportion.

MS have already said you can install Windows 11 on whatever you want with the media creation tool.

Being unsupported just gives them an out to not deliver drivers or do QC for obscure or really old hardware configurations.

Since Threadripper is a new enough platform I wouldn't expect that to happen for quite some time.

The people being really stung by this are larger organizations like schools and hospitals who _need_ that support. This seems like it's throwing a bone to HP, Dell and co.
