Comment on 'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux

Part of me still does not think Microsoft is going to go through with it. There are too many Windows 10 PCs that will just become infected.
Part of me thinks the government will intervene as I think it could genuinely be a security issue to have so many unsecured devices in the wild.
But, another part of me has no hope for the future.
Sooo… I guess we will just have to wait and see.

No lie. We play this game every 7 years or so. I was training on a Win10 machine at work yesterday. Think they’re updating that? Nah. Hell, it probably could take an 11 upgrade and they haven’t bothered. Why? It’s a locked down machine. And if IT don’t care, home users certainly won’t.

Lol there is a pc with win xp at my job that is offline but its the only pc left with software we need. Apparently it won’t run on new stuff. I call bs but its survived this long somehow.

Question is has the company who made the software gone bust and is the software so nieche that no one else has made a replacement?

They’re working to make home users care. I get a full screen popup every couple weeks reminding me that Win 10 is going out of support and my pc isn’t eligible to upgrade. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them get more aggressive with that shit in October. I also ran into issues with 7 where apps would just refuse to work on it so they have that route to fuck us too.

At least there was an upgrade path from them.
