   As it buries Windows 10, Microsoft declares 2025 “year of the Windows 11 PC refresh”
   The carrot of "new features" and the stick of "no more updates for your old PC."

     @arstechnica I'm so tired of Microsoft suckers always pushing their rhetoric of "windows 11 is better than ...". Everything is better than 11 💩

     @arstechnica I remind you: do you really need to use Windows yet? (Maybe except some unfortunate countries where most online services still depend on Windows.)

     @arstechnica I declare 2025 "year of the caring about MS even less - keep your ads and ai"

     I have no problem with my last W10 laptop not having security updates, I do nothing with that machine that would require security. And eventually it'll be a linux machine like the rest.

     I do have W10 on a virtualbox, if I really need to access something.

     At work I may have to suffer W11 at some point, but then I'm getting paid to do that.
