      For how long? Windows 10 was also a free upgrade, until it wasn't

        AFAIK you can still enter your windows 7/8 keys during installation and have it work.

      It's free, financially. Windows 11 is Microsoft's attempt to hoover up Edge and Windows Passport evaders. It's a shame, I was just getting into Windows 10 as my personal dev desktop. I guess i'll give Ubuntu another shot.

  That wasn't an official statement from Microsoft.

      While on one hand I definitely stand corrected and not really floored that they decided to go against this, I don't know how marketing wouldn't have the foresight to see that a never-changing number would keep themselves evergreen. I mean, Apple still numbers the iPhone (as do other brands' flaghsips) to ensure people quickly know which one is the newest. Whereas Windows hides this designator (e.g. 21H2) behind a few clicks.
