  I thought they were supposed to do the whole “last version of Windows that will be updated forever” with Windows 10, and of course abandoned that some time ago.

  My gut feeling is that their product management marketing folks came to the conclusion that Windows as a subscription was not going to work for the consumer market where the OS is something that’s just part of the device you buy. And in discussions with system OEMs they made the decision that consumers like it when the version number goes up, so increasing that windows number every several years will move systems.

    Windows 11 displays as Windows 10 in a large number of places internally. It’s just a later revision than any of the “actually” Windows 10 ones.

      Interesting. Maybe that supports my guess.

      It’s not without precedent though. I remember seeing NT references for a long time from win2k on.

  Bold of you to think I have any expectations of Microsoft to not suck. I will wait until 9 comes out before I put another windows OS on my machines. Since why after all this, would anyone trust a software company to do anything well that can not count to 10?
