Re: Windows 10 to be retired in 2025
Microsoft says its successor will represent one of the "most significant updates" to the OS in the past decade
Debian or Fedora? :D |

Re: Windows 10 to be retired in 2025
so for support to end in 2025 that has to mean the new OS will be released next year ish. Hope they do free upgrades again

Re: Windows 10 to be retired in 2025
I thought Windows 10 was the final version?
I'm on Windows 8.1, I missed out on the free version, because in backing up it screwed up and I took ages to fix ix |

Re: Windows 10 to be retired in 2025
If they're doing a UI refresh of Windows I hope they don't just put another layer of UI on top of the existing one. It's bad enough that the more you drill down, the further you go back in Windows history with some dialog boxes looking unchanged from Windows 98.
This might also be a point where they are more aggressive in cutting out support for old hardware. 32 bit for example. Also, fully unified support for ARM processors and things that won't compile for both x86 and ARM could also be deprecated to enforce that. Microsoft will be concerned at what's happening at Apple with their M-series chips and can't afford for Windows to be left behind because their legacy support holds them back from successful pushes into ARM tables and laptops. Obviously in that case they'll have two operating systems. Windows 10 for legacy and corporate environments and Windows 11 as a more consumer facing OS. |

So they are giving the kiddie OS a makeover ?
Heres an idea - go back to using the Windows XP inteface. It was (and still is) by far the best, not the ridiculous kids lego blocks. |

They likely want to go subscription model where you have a thin client running locally and all the grunt done "on the cloud". You could have local storage and use of local graphics. Why sell O/S for £100 when you can rent it for £5 a month. No need for awkward updates and if people don't keep paying they lose access.
You could even have Linux locally to run the client. Or ChromeOS. Or Windows. |
Re: Windows 10 to be retired in 2025
well so far the OS appears to be just Windows 10 with a new skin and a few new menus. But it is an early Beta. I am doubting there will not be a new kernel and therefore it will be more like Windows 10X than anything new and ground breaking.
Of course we know MS make their money from other products more than Window and I think tbh it will be offered as a free upgrade again. I feel all companies have to at least look like they are moving forward and not stagnant |
Re: Windows 10 to be retired in 2025
Be interesting to see what on premise enterprise support will be offered
Could this be the first to only be able to be managed by intune ? CM/SCCM/MECM (whichever you wish to call it) can't continue for ever |
