And each 'version' of Win10 only gets update for 18 months. So these people have about 12 months left before they have a machine that is no longer getting security updates because of MS's asinine updating policies, which only exist to force Win10 down the throats of people who don't really want it, or simply don't care enough to be on the endless upgrade treadmill.
Not sure what Nadella's master plan here other than pissing people off. Heck, we have to delay updates at work because they keep breaking Outlook and other critical applications. Thus far, Win10 seems like a disaster. Perhaps the last mainstream version of Windows before people migrate out to Apple or perhaps one day a Linux desktop.
- dx034 9y agoI think they don't really have a masterplan, they just try to catch up. They wanted to somehow copy Apple's model of more frequent updates. This, however, is much more complicated for microsoft because they have very little control over the hardware.
