I've been a bit bored and decided to see when Microsoft are ending Windows 10 support and to my surprise they are ending support for Windows 10 in 2025. That seems early to me. I thought to myself its not long been out but a quick google search revels Windows 10 was released in 2015?
I'm pretty sure Windows 10 came out much later than 2015 unless I just didn't notice at the time because I'm a Linux user. Time passes by so quickly as you get older. Well if Windows 10 was released to the public in 2015 and end support is 2025 that is 10 years. Windows 10 still feels pretty new to me. I expect it will have some extended support.
Windows 11 is too much for me to deal with. Windows 12 will be released around 2025.
Looking back at Windows 98 that came out in 1998 and support ended in 2002 with extended support until 2006.so that is about 10 years all together so I suppose it makes sense but Windows 95 had a shorter life of 6 years.
Windows 95 is the most iconic Windows OS. It felt like Windows 95 hung on forever. Windows 95/98 holds a lot of nostalgia for me. Windows 3.11 to an extent but not so much. MS-DOS 6.22 can be fun because its all command based and reminds me of the days of BASIC the programming language, I would sit for ages typing out games and stuff. RISC OS had the BBC BASIC built in to it by pressing F12 I wished Windows would have had that. There was also Apple Basic I used a lot too.
For me computers and operating systems don't have to revolve around graphical eye candy and internet they can be just as fun with or without it.
I'm not a fan of Windows 10 but I do dabble with it from time to time and also having to use it at work. I suppose its not the worse OS but its OK I don't think I would use it as a daily driver.
