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.

Lol. Remember when W10 was to be the "final" one?

The "10 year OS" that was 2015. Guess profits got in the way.

Oh and 10 didn't track you enough or put enough ads in the OS.

It wasn't the profits or ads that got in the way.

It was the security that got in the way. (remember the whole TPM module thing?)

Iterating the version number was just a convenient excuse to throw more ads, and tracking in.
