All these articles mention 10 being dead, but free extended support is offered by Microsoft with a couple of clicks until next year so really it's not. Massgrave gives you 3 I believe, and IOT is even longer.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I already have to use Windows 11 at work so I know the problems it comes with and I absolutely refuse to upgrade at home. I'd sooner go to exclusively Linux than upgrade at this point. I've already been duel booting Linux and Windows at home just in case I gotta bail completely. And as someone that has tried Linux back in 2015 it is leaps and bounds better than it used to be. Besides certain proprietary software you can basically do 80% of what you can on Windows at this point.
And vast majority would rather become ransomware targets than try Windows alternatives.
I have used MS for years and also interacting with linux based server systems daily. I do stick with windows, but I also disable most of AI related features (I used auto captioning in some cases). While I use AI daily it is a local sandboxed instance. I think they should focus on other areas, but every tech company is FOMO on AI.
