    Name a single version of Windows that hasn’t stopped being supported at some point.

          I’m not even gonna bother to click on that. Microsoft said Windows 10 is the last version of Windows. I don’t care for revisionist arguments trying to undo their words.

          “Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.”

          - Microsoft at their Ignite conference

          Microsoft stuck by that line. They didn’t correct it, they instead leaned into it.

          Microsoft said Win10 was the last. It isn’t. They lied.

            “I won’t bother looking at that because I prefer to stay ignorant, here’s the quote they talk about in your link that I don’t want to read because they actually debunk the fact that it came from Microsoft and that they never corrected it.”

            Lemmy truly is turning to shit all of the sudden…

              It did come from Microsoft. Directly. They then never corrected it. They went along with it.

              You can do mental gymnastics all you want, but the reality is that a senior Microsoft guy that Microsoft chose to speak at a Microsoft event gave a talk that was vetted by Microsoft in which he said Win10 is the last version of Windows.

              Did Microsoft issue a correction? No. Not even after loads of articles came out about the subject.

              Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the final version of Windows. End of discussion. Goodbye.

                That comment was actually made by Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft developer evangelist who spoke at the company’s ”Tiles, Notifications, and Action Center” presentation about Windows 10 at Microsoft’s Microsoft Ignite conference in 2015. According to the transcript of the session, Nixon’s comment was more of a throwaway line, one that he literally referred to as a segue.

                Here, let me spoon feed you.

                Microsoft never confirmed or denied it, people just assumed it was confirmed because that’s what they wanted to hear.

                  Here, maybe if I repeat it enough it’ll get through your skull. But who knows? Maybe you’re just too stupid.

                  Let me know if you need me to repeat it again for you.

                    Microsoft didn’t say it, there was never an official announcement, a dev said something that was interpreted the wrong way and that wasn’t an official communication.

                    It. Wasn’t. A. Microsoft. Announcement.

        with no announced EOL

        Also, paid extended support for Windows has been a thing since 95.

          I see, the problem is that you lack reading comprehension.

          Sorry I overestimated you.

            Nah, the problem is you sharing your opinion when you don’t take the time to analyse the facts.
