“This was to be the last operating system ever.”
I wonder if the one guy who said that still works at Microsoft. He’s certainly given them plenty of headache.
It was. Now it’s just AI-infused spyware.
And indeed it was (the last OS by Microsoft).
Windows 11 does not operate and I doubt Windows 12 will either.
The OS to end all OS… Mmhh, why does this sound so familiar?
Windows… Windows never changes.
And now we can’t trust them whenever they say that again.
Microsoft Activation Scripts has a method to activate three years of extended security updates on Windows 10 for free.
Bonus: Microsoft tech support has been repeatedly caught using these scripts to resolve support tickets for license issues. (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-support-cracks-windows-for-customer-after-activation-fails/)
Edit: If you go this route, please also see the FAQ entry here. There is currently a glitch with commercial ESU keys (which this uses) and Windows Update will continue to claim that your device will no longer receive security updates. This is also effecting W10 LTSC systems. However, you can verify that the license key is active through Command Prompt and instructions are given in the FAQ.
Lol if I was unlucky enough to be Microsoft tech support I’d probably run this on a customer machine too
The icing on the cake is that the open-source MAS code is hosted on Github, which Microsoft owns. Between this and their support use, they’re practically endorsing it!
Lookout Linux, here we come!
Looks like 1/3rd of windows gamers still on win10
From the Steam hardware survey:
Was ready to switch but now I’m hooked on bf6 and seems no way to play on Linux
I personally can’t stomach playing any EA games now that Jared Kushner profits off of them.
As a metalhead if I cancelled every person I didn’t like I’d have like nothing left to enjoy ha
Best battlefield since bf1 easily
It’s one thing to support a skinhead who makes music
Another is supporting a skinhead who is overthrowing your country
I wonder just how many incentives it included to update…
The only reason I still have to have Windows on a spare drive is VR. I have a Vive Cosmos and as far as I can tell there is just flat out no support for Linux.
That’s why I’m waiting to invest in VR. It’s too closed and immature for my liking at the moment.
Good plan, I already had investment in VR before I went to Linux so I’m not really wanting to scrap all of it, you know?
