Windows 11 is like what, 5 years old now already and just getting the top spot? That's embarrassing.
The only way now for Windows 11 to infect my computer is when Valve cuts Windows 10 support from Steam.
Yeah, and its most likely only due to them killing Windows 10 in the fall, which means a lot of companies have been working hard this year to replace a ton of computers before October. Anyone who has been down this road with 7 to 10 knows it will just cost more money if you need to continue support after that. They sell you a new license thats good for a year that will allow updates to continue. It doubles in cost every year after.
That is why the way to go now is to pirate that LTSC version of Win10. Goes through 2032. The only main worry at that point is how many companies are going to tell you "For your best optimized experience, you MUST be on Windows 11!". Which again, Windows 11 is 5 years old and who knows when Microsoft will throw out Windows 12 just to have this stupid cycle applied to everyone all over again. It is asinine.
