"Windows 10 will be the last Windows."

Anyone remember?
I'm glad I did the jump to Linux after 7, after the Windows 10 trial suicided and took my entire C: partition with it without any success of recovery.

Every time I hear about more modern versions of windows I'm more and more glad I switched to Linux

Sorry but that looks ugly- not a fan of the look
I didn't expect Windows 12 to be announced for another few years, didn't 11 only come out last year?

I probably don't need to ask, at this point, but will there be an agenda flyout back again?

My curiosity towards Windows totally vanished with 8, and everything since looks like hasted damage control to me.

Now I find it interesting that the vision and ambition of Microsoft for what used to be its most strategic and successful product goes as low as a new skin (more than "inspired by" KDE IMHO), more of cloud-clippy in places we'll hate it a lot, and more adds and telemetry because retail/OEM tax was not enough real money you spent for your OS.
