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.
OK. Have a good day.
You too!
