[Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Microsoft has done this with every windows they've made. After the support period is over, you can pay for additional for a few years to help you transition. This one is so loud because windows 11 was such a privacy bait and switch.

Windows 11 is basically Windows 10, internally it hasn't changed names. They have to have an external trade name for it or people won't realize they're "behind."

I wish that the only problem I had with windows 11 was that I couldn't reposition the taskbar.
