Anyone else remember when Win10 was gonna be the last time you’d ever need to buy Windows?

And then remember when actual Microsoft PR went crazy to correct Jerry Nixons dumb choice of words but everyone ignored it because it wasn’t as interesting?

No, I don’t remember that.

“When I reached out to Microsoft about Nixon’s comments, the company didn’t dismiss them at all.”

And when you continue reading the article, you can see even the article’s author expected Windows 11, because the message here was just that existing versions of Windows will continue getting updates, not that there won’t be future version of Windows.

There was nothing to dismiss about the comment, if you don’t misinterpret it.

I hope Windows 12 comes out before then. I’m not interested in switching to Windows 11.

Way ahead. I tried Linux earlier this year hoping I could learn to get used to it in time before the end of support for 10 and it turned out to be a far smoother transition that I anticipated. I haven’t booted my Windows partition since.

I think for most users it should be, and getting better all the time.

Just if you play games with anticheat, or use something just incompatible like Adobe products.

Probably best not to boot it, or windows update might overwrite Grub.

My steam deck showed me that I didn’t need windows anymore, just waiting to change my pc to make the switch… If I get a job someday

In case you didn’t know, save yourself some headaches and avoid NVidia GPUs for your new build.

Right as they have begun rolling out Copilot… It’s a dystopian world we are about to be a part of, if you don’t already think we’re living in it now. Viva la Linux!

That’s even shorter than Windows XP! And technology hasn’t advanced nearly as much as during those 14 years

And Windows 10 was supposed to be the last release becoming a rolling release. Only a sucker would have actually believed that.

Yes, only a sucker would have believed that, because it was manufactured clickbait, not something Microsoft ever said.
