Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. It’s had a good run, having been with us since July 2015, replacing the dreadful Windows 8 with an interface that harked back to Windows 7 and previous versions of the operating system rather than any tablet-aping fullscreen experiments.
Public perception of Windows releases since 95 takes a broad pattern. If one release is good, the next will be bad. So Windows 95 was good and Windows 98 was better, then Me was bad, XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad... which means Windows 12 (remember, Windows 10 was to be the “last version of Windows” according to Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft developer evangelist speaking in 2015) should be a corker.
