Remember when Windows 10 was "the last operating system"?

Yeah, it was supposed to be a subscription model that they would continuously update. They have not lived up to that promise...

They probably did a user survey and found out that moving windows to a subscription would cause 100% of users to switch to Mac / Linux

Here’s a good article about that: https://www.pcworld.com/article/394724/why-is-there-a-windows-11-if-windows-10-is-the-last-windows.html

Apparently that wasn’t really ever Microsoft’s official stance.
