  The difference is that Microsoft literally marketed Win10 as the last version of Windows.

      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 said Win10 was the last. It isn’t.

        “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.”

    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.
