> A lot of the “never upgrade to 11” folks are completely unaware at how antiquated their OS is at this point. So all the talk about "Windows 10 is the last Windows you'll ever need" is now officially recognised as bullshit? How does that make Microsoft trustworthy enough to install anything else from them? And all those gigantic system updates that Windows 10 has had you run several times a year ever since you first used it were good for absolutely nothing? Feel free to explain how all this hangs together, if you like.

Your comment is actually a perfect encapsulation of this problematic mentality. You’re clinging on to something that Microsoft never even said explicitly in their marketing materials or documentation. Literally one guy at Microsoft at a conference (Jerry Nixon) said one quote at a conference. And for some reason a bunch of users can’t let that comment go. So if all your distrust is about how Microsoft made you install big updates I don’t know how you expect to use any software or connect to the Internet at all. You have to download updates on Linux, too. And Mac. It seems like these are unreasonable expectations. Windows 11 clearly needed a new name because it had more serious hardware incompatibility breaks compared to 10. And yeah, a lot of insufferable people still can’t get over the fact that Microsoft won’t support a 10 year old processor for their brand new OS.

  > So if all your distrust is about how Microsoft made you install big updates I don’t know... What you don't seem to know is what I actually wrote, that you replied to: That was not about "distrust of Microsoft", but a question to you: If the OS is so horribly "antiquated", then WTF were all those humongo-updates for? Or, conversely: After all these updates over the years, how the F can the OS be so horribly "antiquated"?

    Windows 10 hasn’t received a big update in around 4 years, right? Meanwhile Windows 11 has been getting large updates during that time. Windows 10 has been in security patch only mode for nearly a half a decade.
