That comment was actually made by Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft developer evangelist who spoke atthe company’s ”Tiles, Notifications, and Action Center” presentation about Windows 10at Microsoft’s Microsoft Ignite conference in2015. According tothe transcript ofthe session, Nixon’s comment was more ofa throwaway line, one that he literally referred toasa segue.
Here, let me spoon feed you.
Microsoft never confirmed or denied it, people just assumed it was confirmed because that’s what they wanted to hear.
Here, maybe if I repeat it enough it’ll get through your skull. But who knows? Maybe you’re just too stupid.
It did come from Microsoft. Directly. They then never corrected it. They went along with it.
You can do mental gymnastics all you want, but the reality is that a senior Microsoft guy that Microsoft chose to speak at a Microsoft event gave a talk that was vetted by Microsoft in which he said Win10 is the last version of Windows.
Did Microsoft issue a correction? No. Not even after loads of articles came out about the subject.
Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the final version of Windows. End of discussion. Goodbye.
Let me know if you need me to repeat it again for you.
Microsoft didn’t say it, there was never an official announcement, a dev said something that was interpreted the wrong way and that wasn’t an official communication.
Fuck me you must be really, really, really stupid.

It was a senior Microsoft employee at a Microsoft event doing a Microsoft-approved speech for a Microsoft product.
Microsoft. Directly. Said. Window. 10. Would. Be. The. Last. Windows. Version. Fuckwit.
When I reached out to Microsoft about Nixon's comments, the company didn't dismiss them at all. "Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. "We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations."
**We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time**
The spokesperson (someone hired just to speak in the name of the company) saying “we’re not talking about branding at this time”, we can just ignore that, what’s important is what a dev said when replying to a question at an event because, as we all know, people never put their foot in their mouth or say things the wrong way, especially people who are hired for their technical skills and not their communication skills.

Yes they did. Go read the comment again.
I suppose at an Apple event if an Apple representative comes on stage and talks about a new iPad you’d be like “Apple never mentioned a new iPad!!!”?
Hilariously stupid. Microsoft lied, don’t get so butthurt about it.
