Win 11 will eventually replace win 10, just as win10 replaced win7, they are just desperate to reach their target before releasing windows 12.
Windows 10 was the last Windows version for me. I'm done. I'm done with the spying, and the ads, and the hidden admin options spread across 5 different locations, and the registry, and the bugs, and the viruses, and just their whole shit show. Linux 4 lyfe.
It's just the spying for me. If it wasn't for the spying and ads then I'd still be a Windows die-hard. If my OS was just an OS then I wouldn't feel the need to switch to Linux
Yeah, the other things are just annoyances. But the ads and the spying are deal breakers for me. They're our fucking computers, not Microsoft's! They've got a lot of fucking nerve thinking they can just shove ads into our native OS. That's literally how adware, which is classified as malware, has been classified for all of Windows history. But now they're doing it themselves? Get fucked, Satya!
You missed Windows 8, which never replaced Windows 7
Windows 12 is scheduled to release before Windows 10 goes EOL. At this point, those who haven’t switched are better off just waiting to see if 12 is decent or it’s shittier than 11. If it’s the latter, it might be time to finally ditch Windows on my gaming PC.
