Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he'll win.

I agree that windows should not stop supporting previous versions of windows. Especially when going from windows 10 to 11 wasn't at all that big of a change. They very easily could have waited longer before making windows 11 the standard or even windows 11 period because it was not that big of a change.

Unfortunately they did not do anything illegal in my opinion but we'll have to see how this plays out I guess.

Even if he does win, it's still Windows, still under their control. It'd be maliciously and quite supraliminaly enshittified until it's unusable. Just slap on a CachyOS or anything else open source

Its a fun fantasy but Microsofts pockets are way too deep to lose to some avarage joe.

Also they can be exempt from the law by gifting donnie and co gold, or initiating "christian friendly initiatives".
