"Microsoft’s support for its 1.5 billion Windows users has been making headlines for months. It’s now just a year before Windows 10’s unpopular end-of-life, with the 850 million PC users yet to move to Windows 11 now contemplating the $30 single year extension that has just been confirmed.
"But now there seems to be some bad news for Windows 11 users as well. Windows 11 24H2 has been making its own headlines, with a raft of new features that make it significant enough that it could have been badged Windows 12. But millions of users remain on Windows 11 23H2, and they have just been issued a surprising end-of-support warning of their own, which has caused serious alarm."
You can read the rest of the story, but have a look at the comments too. It seems people are getting tired of Microsoft. It will get worse before it gets better. If they can push users to buy new computers every 2-3 years, it represents fantastic profit growth... at your expense.
I'm a Linux user, but I have Windows on a Virtual machine, so I can use it if I have to. If you missed that blog post, you can find it here. On the blog post, you can watch a 2-3 minute video of how I switch between Linux and Windows.
