Yeah, well, they promised Windows 10 would be the "last Windows," too. We know how their track record goes on that.
I've had a very successful lifelong policy of never giving Microsoft any money for anything ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper gnawing on the keyboard of my first 286, and it's served me pretty damn well so far.
Iirc, they didn't. There was one person who didn't really have the authority to make such claims say something that could have been understood as win 10 is the last windows.
I hate to defend Microsoft, they're an awful company, but this just was never really true.
Your not wrong. I worked for the company, and we were told that it wasn't actually true like 6 months after launch. I had been communicating it for .o the to my clients.
"This is the last time, baby. I swear!"
