    Didn’t they say at one point that windows 10 would be the last windows version as they are switching to a rolling release model?

      That was just the tech weenies with their ‘architecturally sound strategy’ or whatever, before the business side beat talked some sense into them.

          Well, they actually always had an End-of-Life date slated for 2025. But yeah, it wasn’t clear, if that was there just in case, or if they never expected to go through with what they’d been telling people.

    [Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?

      I’m sure that it’s just the marketing dept changing hands over time. Marketing teams are like a Scott’s Tots situation: they are just trying to say whatever makes the product numbers look good in the near term. Fulfilling on any promises is a future marketing team’s job.
