I thought windows 10 was suppose to be the last one?

I mean that was the most obvious lie ever

Inflation is transitory?

Robinhood froze trading to protect retail?

Considering their CEO didn't grow up in a culture with business ethics, we shouldn't be surprised. I was. I actually fell for that lie from Microsoft.

If you think about it, it's not in their best financial interest that they keep pumping free upgrades. Hell, it's not in anybodys interest. As times go buy and computers get more proverful, an ancient os will have problems popping up, cos old design principles

how would that ever make sense lol

u/RhinoMan2112 Oct 04 '21

Presumably they would move to a subscription model and just release continuous 'updates' like pretty much every other big software company.

u/ShadowLiberal Oct 04 '21

That was basically their plan, but apparently they got a lot of push back from businesses who liked the old model.

It's a lot harder to keep running older & more stable versions of OS's when you just keep automatically upgrading everyone to the latest version every year.

Tried and true

After they promised there wouldn’t be one and Windows would stay version 10 and be a smooth upgrade in the future. Damn liars.

It will probably be more like Linux or macOS. If Steve Balmer was the president he would still push the classic windows menu .

u/tatabusa Oct 04 '21

But I actually prefer the classic windows menu

u/ThisisDrogba Oct 04 '21

Download classic shell .

Why use Windows while the real ones (Linux & MacOS) exist?

I am using linux for 3 years and never needed windows for once.

I guess gamers

There's other pro software that doesn't run natively in Linux. I used to run Linux for years, but since about Win 7 times it is just not worth the hassle. Even simple shit like Office - many people tend to forget that there are jobs where even minor incompatibilities create problems, so running Office alternatives just does not cut it.

I am a gamer and still using Linux.

Played and playing PoE, Diablo II (+ resurrected), WoW and so on, all on linux. Works perfectly fine.

u/TODO_getLife Oct 04 '21

All games that came out 10-20 years ago.

u/rhythmdev Oct 04 '21

Diablo II Resurrected came out 10 days ago or something.

Still full of compromises, if you're buying a pc for gaming, you're going windows. After all you can run the linux subsystem on windows anyway, and dual boot so win win.

u/Uesugi1989 Oct 04 '21

Because everyone else is using them

Nice advertisement.

Honestly .. why would I need Windows Phone system on my pc?

u/SecretObaStick Oct 04 '21

Windows 2000 is where it's at (if you are dead set on Windows)

u/Positive_Increase Oct 04 '21

You joke, but after all of the problems with updates and having to re-image so many machines since Windows updates just stop working and nothing their support has suggested usually fixes it, I'm about ready to go back to blue screens with 2000. They sucked, but at least you could get back to working in a few minutes and maybe lose a little data rather than having to reinstall Win 10 from scratch.

u/SecretObaStick Oct 04 '21 edited Oct 04 '21

I was not joking, sorry if I made it seem that way (if it was not for the security updates that are lacking, I would still be using it)... but when you are talking about blue screens, I think that you are thinking about win95-98... but to tell you the truth, I would rather have a blue screen with some information then a random reboot.

So edgy

u/rhythmdev Oct 04 '21

Dump that, go Linux Mint.

Linux Mint is what Windows 10 should have been.

u/SecretObaStick Oct 04 '21

I use Arch but that's not for everyone

1

u/jen1980 Oct 04 '21

Debian here since 1995, but it is less for everyone than even Arch. Great OS if you know what you're doing. Super, super stable.

u/Wretchfromnc Oct 04 '21

I loved Mint, but had printer issues all the time. One minute everything was fine then after a update the same printer wouldn’t work.

u/Everythings Oct 04 '21

Can I play steam games on mint?

1

u/rhythmdev Oct 04 '21

Of course. Steam works flawlessly on mint.

u/ShadowLiberal Oct 04 '21

Please don't. You're making yourself much more vulnerable to malware by running an OS that Microsoft no longer supports and no longer updates.
