A few days ago, Davuluri shared his excitement about it on his official X handle. He seemed very eager to reveal what the company has in mind at the upcoming Ignite event regarding the agentic OS plans.
Unfortunately for Microsoft and Davuluri, the response has been overwhelmingly negative, so much so that the comments on that X post have now been disabled.
Made me laugh. :)
Remember, they said Windows 10 was the last version you’d need. The last version.
In a country full of people that get a chub at the thought of litigation why hasn’t this angle been pursued?
It was the last version I needed. Six months gaming on Linux and I haven’t looked back.
That was never actually an official statement. It was an offhand comment by some staffer that didn’t carry any legal weight nor accurately describe the internal trajectory for Windows in any way. As much as we like to poke fun at it regardless.
Windows 10 is definitely the last version of Windows I’ll run on my own machines.
I think it will be the last one I run as well. I’ve always gotten grumpy with updating my OS since XP. I skipped Vista and 8 entirely. So I went XP > 7 > 10. I tried out Cachy OS and it works great. Did I have to go in the terminal at times? Absolutely but I have to go into the command line in windows sometimes too. Only thing keeping me in Windows at the moment is some windows only software and hardware drivers.
Because in the USA, private individuals don’t have meaningful access to the legal system. Realistically, the best you could possibly hope for in a case like this would be a settlement in a class action where every Windows 10 user who’s willing to jump through a bunch of hoops ends up with a seven dollar check in half a decade.
That was always a dumb statement. Microsoft had two places to go from there. Either iterate and keep the name like Mac OS X was doing (10, 10.1, 10.2 and so on) or go to 11… like macOS also did (after a while).
They were never gonna release a version of Windows called Windows 10 and never update it or improve upon it (as they see it).
They had iterations already, like 22h2 or whatever.
