Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year
Microsoft really wants people to move to Windows 11.
You're viewing a single thread.
Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows?
The last usable windows, maybe
Hmm, but did they say the last version of Windows, or the last version of Windows you're going to buy? And if it's the latter, is the upgrade to Windows 11 free? If yes, then technically it's still correct.
I just wish I could buy a copy of windows 11 that didn't have any telemetry or AI.
IoT LTSC or just plain LTSC https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

Remember when Billiam Gates said nobody would ever need more than 640kb of RAM?
Yup, then Javascript was invented
What we never needed was his billionaire ass.
Thank goodness the clouds parted and his holy billionaire visage emerged with the gift of [angelic chorus] vaccines otherwise we would all be dead now (and he wouldn't have made a 20 to 1 return on investment). Thank god for billionaires and their unquestionable wisdom.
I mean, that was back when if you wanted a home computer, you were building it yourself from parts from Radio Shack. Not exactly the same thing. I'm not certain that even Apple had the Apple 1 out at that point. I know they hadn't made the Mac 128k, and weren't going to for several years.
I haven't ever met anyone that thought Bill Gates was prescient, just a lucky businessman.
The joke being that he didn't actually say it, same as Microsoft never stating 10 being the last version of Windows ever
I 'member.
Twas Dickity 14 or so, and I plan to make good on Microsofts words.
I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the fashion at the time
They never actually said this. Some MS Engineer did and the press ran with it.
And even that engineer only said "last" to mean "latest", which is obvious from context, but why let that get in the way of clickbaity articles.
It happens a lot by german talking people. Latest and last are the same word here
That's the stupidest way to say that. Of course when it's released it will be the latest release.
He was asked what they are working on now that they released Windows 10. He said they are still working on Windows 10 as it's the last (latest) release of Windows and still being developed. Yes he could have worded it better.
