Well, Windows 10 was released in 2015, so it's 6 years old and supported for another 4 years. Nobody here is being forced to upgrade to this new OS. You got over 4 more years with Windows 10 being fully supported. I still have a box in my home running Windows 7, because it doesn't need any additional functionality, it's not in the internet so I am not concerned about security issues and it doesn't give me any trouble. So, I'll likely stick with it until it dies.New versions of Windows may be necessary at times, but only if they are clearly better and offer substantial improvement. Just because something is new and has mostly cosmetic changes doesn't mean it's a worthwhile upgrade. The ideal upgrade is one that needs to be done for operational reasons, not on a whim or due to greed.
Pretty sure that an OS coming out after 6 years is not necessarily "on a whim". It's been under development for quite some time. i have no real plans to upgrade my actual desktop, my kids desktop or my wife's desktop to Windows 11 anytime soon. I'm play with it on VM's and test hardware for a while until it does something that I need, or until my machine starts having problems and it's time for a reinstall.
