I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?
I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.
Windows 7 was so good, the fact they came out with windows 10 shortly after, and then windows 11 shortly after that one and decided yup, 11 is the one we want to have longevity with keeps Microshit winning. What a great company.
Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 all had 10-year support spans like this, it's just the fact that Microsoft has slowed down releases that makes it feel shorter. You can chill on W10 LTSC until 2032 if you really want. W11 Pro will allow you to get rid of most annoying things via group policy.

Then get ready to pay the Apple Tax.

I wish I could migrate our whole network to Linux but sadly that's not how it works. I dread deploying windows 11.
If there's one thing capitalism loves almost as much as slavery, it's planned obsolescence
You WILL use the people's OS, proprietary software belongs in museums 
The only thing that stops me from using Linux is that I'll miss out on the satisfaction of stealing it.
Yes, and yeah it's ridiculous, especially when there are a decent chunk of computers that can't upgrade. Death to Bill Gates, Death to Microsoft.
You can install 11 with a quick registry edit. I've been running 11 for over a year this way on a ryzen 1600 (not even an old CPU) without any issue. This proves they're absolutely going to bat for the likes of netflix and disney+ in their perpetually losing war against piracy. Like I've never not been able to acquire an episode of a popular show on a streaming service within 24 hours, so what's all this even for?
