And what does that accomplish? Delaying the actual problem to 2032?

It gives you 6 years to transition to a better OS. Or to become CEO of Microslop and improve things.

It's honestly great, even for me who only boot into windows once every few months.

I wouldn't say "great". But great in comparison to 11 😁 But who needs 6 years of transition? The run-of-the-mill-user with office and Firefox could just switch and not even notice it. Despite libreoffice loading much quicker.

But who needs 6 years of transition?

I'm hoping someone manages to make surface pro's fully compatible with linux in that time... (or that something that's compatible and serves SPs purpose becomes available)

Probably rather the latter 😁 But yes, sure. Valid point. Nice devices but too locked
