The king (Windows 10) is dead, all hail the new king (Windows 11)

[Worgen]

Yeah so apparently Microsoft will indeed not be continuously updating Windows 10 forever. It sounds like right now the plan is to end support for it in 2025. There will be an official on June 24th with more information. But, we do have what is apparently a leaked screen of what the new UI will look like.

Microsoft sets a kill date for Windows 10 support as Windows 11 draws near

Windows 10's days are officially numbered.

Looks rather Mac OS-y.

Also, I bet IT departments around the globe are rejoicing at having to migrate again.

I still have clients who are dragging their feet about upgrading from windows 7 to 10.

Yeh, at work we only fully migrated to win10 since last year. Actually, pretty sure I was the first and only employee in my department with a win10 system until late 2019.

We only managed to replace the last holdout of Windows XP machines, last year.

We are still rolling out Windows 7 PCs, for some reason.

Not my field, not my problem.

My current OS is Windows 7. I've been to cheap/lazy to upgrade.

I'm all for clean looks, but...

Fuck having the Task Bar Icons in the middle of the screen, also, that Task Bar is way too high, needs to be slimmer, takes up too much screen space like this.

At my work place we just don't bother upgrading most computers, too many old software that can't be upgraded. So most of our machine are still running XP and 7.

W/e we all know the pattern, one good OS one bad OS, so W11 will almost certainly be terrible and soon replace by something else, hopefully before 2025 (what was the gap between 8 and 10?).

Microsoft remains convinced that everyone is on tablets now and that we all need giant, impossible-to-miss icons for our pudgy, diabetes-crippled fingers.

This is really starting to piss me off. Just leave stuff alone!

Leaving things alone isn't sexy.

But why I actually like Windows 10.

 

[Dalisclock]

I'm still running WIn 7. I planned to roll over when i built a new PC which I've started doing now.

But unless Win 11 is gonna be out this year I might as well get Win 10.

I held off because MS was being pretty really pushy about getting people to upgrade, including reports of stealth installs of Win 10 without the user agreeing, but now it's really waiting for a new system to do a clean install.

Win10 is actually decent, bar all the pointless feature they try to shove down your throat but those can generally be deactivated pretty easily. But if your computer is old you need to turn off a crapload of stuff otherwise it tank the performance, my poor laptop struggle when all the security option with W10 are turned on so I have to turn all that off (which MS turn back on whenever there's an update).

I don't remember if W7 had the option to do an easy clean install but it's really nice on W10, every few years I just do one to get rid of the junk that accumulate and it's really snappy afterwards.

My computer is about 10 years old at this point, thus getting ready to build a new one. Luckily I got a decent GPU(1060) a couple years ago from someone who got a pretty decent one, since it looks like trying to get anything relatively new at this point is either highly unlikely or will cost me far more then I feel like paying for one now.

However, beyond that, my computer is starting to creak pretty badly and I'm starting to run into games that require Windows 10 to run. Which is fair, since I've wondered how long Win 7 would be supported.

Looks like Windows, except with everything aligned to the centre and with a worse Start menu.

I still have two systems running XP. In both cases because of specialized hardware where drivers simply don't exist for newer versions of windows than XP. Thankfully they don't need to be kept on the network, so they sit isolated and run their equipment when called upon.

Pray the option to move the taskbar is present

Well technically windows 7 stopped being supported 2 or 3 years ago since Microsoft stopped putting out security updates for it. Except for firms that payed to have them.
