Completely unrelated, but am I the only with an impression that MS has switched Windows into a rolling release OS (like Gentoo or Arch) with infinite updates of Windows 10? This would be a genius move to solve the issue of the users remaining on the old unmaintained release like it was with XP, and like it is now with 7.
- nix0n 9y agoMS has officially confirmed this. https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-version-of-windows https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-ve...

- Volundr 9y agoThat's more or less the plan: https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-version-of-windows https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-ve...
- ctrlaltdestroy 9y agoYes. Windows 10 would be the last OS from MS. I think they confirmed it.
- copperx 9y agoJust like OS X (10). It's like everybody is afraid to go to 11. To be fair, software is a recent human endeavor, and except for Emacs, I'm not familiar with software versions over 10.
- codewithcheese 9y agoI'll bite. Chrome, Firefox, plenty Adobe products.
- floatboth 9y agoPlenty of Spinal Tap reference opportunities in going to 11 though. The iOS 11 presentation did just that :)
- ken 9y agoIn operating systems, FreeBSD, HP/UX, and Solaris are all on version 11. iOS 11 is in beta now. In databases, Oracle and Informix are both on version 12. I think the lack of high version numbers is not necessarily paranoia, but simply that there isn't much software that's old enough yet.

- shostack 9y agoYes, full lockdown and a subscription for anything useful is the new model. Hope you like it.
