      Remember when windows said 10 would be the last version of windows, and they’d just keep sending updates from then on? That lie didn’t last long…

      And they’re EoLing it this coming October! Can’t they wait until 12 at least to do that? I can’t remember the last time the end of life came before two versions had gone by. Wtf!

        Not a perfect analogy, but it fits. 11 is literally 10 with a higher build number and a different shell. The same relation exists between 2000 and XP.

        The problem is that the shell is what people interact with, and what they equate “Windows” with. Which is understandable and to some extent even correct.

        I also think there’s a fair amount of memory bias. People complained about every new Windows version.

        10 is tolerable at best. Still get annoying notifications about shit I haven’t asked for and nag screens about how my PC isn’t compatible with 11 and what I need to do to update. Also the settings menu is dogshit compared to 7.
