They told me Windows 10 was the last Windows and I intend to make them fulfill that promise. And when I fail to make them fulfill their promise, I will keep it for myself.

/sigh at this point i feel like “that guy” but M$ didnt say 10 would be the last Microsoft, a specific employee said it in a specific situation, that in context was pretty obviously “latest” and not “final”.

The internet just took that one line and ran with it, as they are known to do.

/sigh, I barely use it, and when I do, it pisses me off. I'll try to remember this anyway, thanks.

I feel Microsoft is in for a huge surprise when they end support for all versions of Windows except one that requires you to throw out your old hardware. At the same time, Linux is better than it’s ever been and is almost, if not just as easy to use as Windows. Not to mention, most work is done from a browser these days.

There was official support for Windows 7?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Only the embedded variety meant to run on machines like ATMs, POS systems and other long term support machines.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Well, plus all the other versions too, but embedded especially in this case
