    I’m waiting for Microsoft to inevitably be forced to keep supporting 10 for free[1] longer than they planned, because 11 uptake just isn’t fast enough.

    What happened with 7 will happen with 10, and they’ll end up supporting it for another year or two.

    Microsoft is trying damn hard to not care about consumers, but the consumer market still matters, so I suspect angry customers will force their hand.


    1. They already plan on charging money to keep supporting 10 past it’s end-of-life date, but I suspect this will have a lot of angry pushback that will result in at least a year or two of free updates. ↩︎
