11 was fine until they forced Copilot Vision on everyone. That was the straw for me to finally bail to Linux

They did what now? I have no Copilot features turned on in my PCs, and I actually have a certified Copilot+ laptop.

If they just sold a very simple lightweight barebone version of Win 10 for 30-40 usd with regular security updates for the next 200 years, they could make so much money for eternity. Just sell those Apps/Widgets as additional paid apps, that is all you need.

I can't wait for what comes first. The claudication and predictable extended support or the wave of malware paralyzing half the world over unsecured devices.

I think the latter is more likely. The former will only occur once MS is compelled by something that will force them into support mode, like a government or a lawsuit.

Microsoft's new OS has never been a concern of mine. I still have a windows XP, Vista, and windows 7 PC's. They all work fine but zero security updates of course. You don't need to upgrade your OS and most people will simply just keep windows 10 instead up buying a new computer.

I'm just going to setup dual boot with linux since i have some modding and custom software that only works on windows.

The only reason I got a Win11 computer at work is that the new box came with Win11 preinstalled.

Most work is still done on an aging Win7 box and my Linux laptop.

You will be shocked to learn that you can upgrade, for free, to Windows 12. It's called Linux.
