Well fuck that
My work have only just caught up to windows 10.
Assuming they know nothing of EOL or CVE. They better hurry then, only a year or so until 10 security patches go up the wall.
Unless I’m much mistaken, Windows 10 EOL isn’t until 2025, so two years left to run.
Oct 2025. Yeh that’s not long in business.
Depends on the business really. For my last employer (~19,000 deployed PCs, lots of fussy mission critical legacy applications), 2 years would be cutting it extremely fine. For my current employer (~30 employees, nothing more complicated than standard office applications in use), you could do the upgrade in a week.
I imagine my current employer won’t be worrying about upgrading before 2025.
They have shown us a new VM system, which has windows 11 clients soni assume its in the works but rhe windows 10 rollout to 6000 employees was a nightmare.
I just want my operating system:
-
To have a logical settings layout, perform well, be stable
-
Be fully and easily compatible with most mainstream programs and games without having to screw around too much.
Give me back windows 7, add dx12 support, update the back end with any kernel and scheduler updates, call it windows gamer edition. Then fuck off out of my life Microsoft.
Nobody wants to “use an operating system” we want to run programs and do it efficiently, i feel the vast majority of changes Microsoft has made since windows 7 ended has been to the detriment of that.
I can only hope that now with Vulcan becoming more popular and the rise of steam os on the steam deck that we will start to see native Linux aaa games being a thing.

“It seems you wanted to start an application, let me guess which one you want instead of just letting you proceed with that”
this is why im not going past windows 11
Seems like there’s a need for someone to create tools that strip the latest windows release down to a minimal install, convert all of the smart features back into db menus, standardize the locations of options, and give you opt-in features instead of opt-out.
Well in that case I might replace windows 12 with not using windows 12
XP gang
Botnet gang :/
Yeah, don’t use old versions of Windows (or any OS really). Upgrade to Win 10/11 or install Linux (or something else that’s supported).
A few weeks ago when they made the search bar come back after I had told it to go away I switched to Linux. It’s weird the small annoyances that add up. It’s great so far. With KDE for the desktop environment, you can make it look however you want, including almost identical to any version of windows you want. It’s really quite usable, and generally I’m already faster and more comfortable with it than I was with windows.
Im 70% sure I’m replacing wins 11 with Linux already so join us
Meanwhile in the category of “useless bullshit nobody asked for” we have Microsoft. Again.
Install Linux, get rid of microshit crap

Way to increase usage of Linux, good job Microsoft
I still remeber installing a third-party start menu on Windows 8 because fuck the Metro.
I started on Win8 and have never stopped. Currently using Startallback on windows 11 for my wife. It works so much better.
Stardock? I’ve been installing stardock on every windows computer since xp, I’m on Linux now, but if I ever end up back on windows, it will be back.
Okay. If 12 is coming out why would anyone go with 11?

Why not just make 10 louder?
I too, think the Windows start menu is way too responsive and not buggy enough. /s
Can someone just start making community updates for windows 7 and we can just use that when Unix is not a viable option
LOL
Microsoft will come to your house and break your knee caps if someone did that haha
