    I just realized. Windows 10 is being shelved but there is only one version ahead of it.

    I remember xp still being considered good when i had win 8 installed.

    How is that not understood as as a blatant attempt to maximize user control?

    Actually looking at the numbers xp and 8.1 retired within 2 years of eachother. And 10 first got retired in 2020 a year before win 11 was released to make way of windows as a service updates which is actually what is getting retired later this year.

    Microsoft kindly please get your shit together… or dont and strengthen my work requests to migrate systems to Linux.

      Microsoft is a lot more aggressive with EoLing it’s Windows versions now exactly because XP lived so long. It was an absolute pain for them to maintain and support that for so long and they’ve made very sure they don’t repeat that experience.
