    Yeah, but this happens with every version. Windows 7 still had a big market share up until MSFT cut off support. Users are going to bitch and complain and talk about switching to Linux, but eventually just install the next Windows version.

      I’m a lifetime Windows user. I used to have to type run win3.exe on my first computer. I installed Linux mint on my new pc build a couple weeks ago and have been moving in and getting everything set up. Some people absolutely will make the change.

        I remember those days, playing games with DOS4GW or whatever it was called. Man, I don’t miss that.

      I think most users just get a new device eventually. So as long the OEM have to get Ms licenses. Windows will still be around.

      I held onto Windows 7 even a year or two past so-called the EOL. I had a pretty powerful rig and I wasn’t going to pay money to upgrade. Then I think Microsoft just gave Windows 8 for free?

      I finally got on Windows 10 when I bought a premade gaming computer. Still not upgrading.
