Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag
'Bad for consumers [and] bad for the planet,' PIRG says of Microsoft's decision to end support for Windows 10 in 2025, even though an estimated 1 billion PCs can't upgrade to Windows 11.
I'm all for it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Screw MS. Get a Mac, or use Linux.
Screw MS, go Mac? Why go from questionable closed source software to questionable closed software and hardware?
I also said Linux (my personal preference since … way back).
I use both Windows and Linux. Despite the "user-centric" experience MacOS only annoys me. I wonder if it's Apple's autism (do stuff our way) clashing with mine.
At least Mac's are a user-centric experience. You pay an absurd premium for pretty good-but-overpriced hardware and the software is designed to give you a good experience with limited choices. Windows actively antagonizes users with ads while charging users for the pleasure, and now they want to add a subscription fee!
What even is the value proposition for Windows these days beyond "it's what you're used to". And even that is less true than ever.
If people are bitching about their OS being shit canned after 10 years, how are they gonna feel about the 3 year turn around on Mac?
Macs only last 3 years?
This is one of the many, many shitty things about Mac. They are computers for people who don't like computers.
"Get a Mac"
So replace it with a laptop that gets only 5 years of support, which is less than this whole Windows 10 thing? That's going from bad to worse.

While you could use some questionable options to get newer macOS versions on older Mac's, the same argument could be used for Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
