A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It sounds like a pretty weak argument to be honest. I wouldn’t bank on this actually delaying the EOL date.

It wont, but there was specific ads that had win 10 as "Windows 10 is the last Windows ever". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENu1_5046YY

Which ad? That’s a video from a random YouTuber, not an official Windows 10 ad from Microsoft.

You don't remember the employees and MS? There was a ton back in the day.

I think it was Terry Myerson that said it. And I remember MS talking about it via my IT department. Them Terry left and it's history now.

A single developer named Jerry Nixon said it a single time at a conference. Microsoft never confirmed that it was an official policy, the “ton” of other employees saying it never existed, and it never was a tagline nor appeared in a single ad.
