Didn't they say at one point that windows 10 would be the last windows version as they are switching to a rolling release model?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

No they did not. An Engineer said it was the last Windows in the context of "the latest Version". The press just ran with the wrong headline.

That was just the tech weenies with their 'architecturally sound strategy' or whatever, before the business side ~~beat~~ talked some sense into them.

Which MS didn't deny until they announced they were working on Win 11.

Well, they actually always had an End-of-Life date slated for 2025. But yeah, it wasn't clear, if that was there just in case, or if they never expected to go through with what they'd been telling people.
