Microsoft ending Windows 10 support by 2025

Did anyone actually believe they'd never make a new version of Windows? Lol..

Good. We need to keep innovating. Sitting on Win10 for twenty years is stupid.
 
I always read it as if Windows 10 would be the last name change and it would evolve and change like normal otherwise.

That's what I thought too. Windows 10 21H1 is not the same as the original 1507 version....each release had new features/improvements.
 
Windows 11 will be the LAST last OS they release. :bleh:

I thought the ongoing incremental upgrade routine was a decent idea, but for the forced upgrades, but I imagine it took a chunk of revenue away as people didn't have to spring for a new key every release cycle.

Who knows...1 might be better than 10...and I actually like 10 for the most part. Very few issues with it.
 
You make it free for Home users to upgrade and paid for Corporate & Enterprise use. Works liked a charm for Win10, don't fix what isn't broken.
 
Wait for 11 to flop and 10 will get another year or two. Windows has a bad track record after a successful OS. XP to Vista, 7 to 8, 10 to 11.
 
aah, the joy of windows.

As for W11 or whatever they end up calling it, we'll have to wait and see, maybe it's not that big of a turd as most of us fear.
 
Those early leaks is just win 10 with more uneven UI updates. I'll just wait until the announcement before I pass judgement on this.
 
Quick poll who is in day one?

Me! Cuz they usually give it out free for a time... :bleh:

Tho yea that MS curse of alternating os's...
 
I don't care, really. It's all marketing anyway. They'll call the next incremental mundane 6 month update Windows 11 instead of Windows 10 21H2. It'll basically be Windows 10 with new icons and an annoying ass start-up sound. It'll get them attention and raise their stock prices. That's all this is about anyway....

Whatever.

I always liked customizing my startup sound. So I hope it returning allows that to be easily edited again. In Win10 you have to modify the registry to pull it off.
 
Win 11 presentation is ok I guess... I like the cross platform teams.

Auto hdr and direct storage... I thought that last one would be on win 10...

And its free to existing windows users. Good news. Ill get it for the hdr alone.

So Win11 is anounced, free upgrade!

I suppose 11 will suck, and then either 11.5 (the fixed 11, or rather the 11 good version) or 12 will be the redemption OS.

then again they skipped 9 after 8....so they might have broken the cycle then.
Since 8 was crap, 8.1 was the "fixed 8" so it was mostly fine, 9 would have been crap...10 is good....oh wait the timing works out so they actually skipped out on the crap last time...which means 11...will be crap lol.
 
The upgrade eligible app isnt working properly so I wouldnt bother right now running that.
