I'm not even gonna bother to click on that. Microsoft said Windows 10 is the last version of Windows. I don't care for revisionist arguments trying to undo their words.

"Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10."

- Microsoft at their Ignite conference

Microsoft stuck by that line. They didn't correct it, they instead leaned into it.

Microsoft said Win10 was the last. It isn't. They lied.

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.

Here, maybe if I repeat it enough it'll get through your skull. But who knows? Maybe you're just too stupid.

Let me know if you need me to repeat it again for you.

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.
