Remember those times when Microsoft said that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows, as it will get to a free "Windows-as-a-Service" model? My ass, now
I can't find the words to describe how absolutely fucking disgusted I am with the fact that we don't even have 11 out in full swing and they're talking about selling us 12 after the "10 would be the last" bullshit.
For fucks sake microturd, get your shit together and stop trying to bleed everyone dry... We know literally every other company in the world is doing that, but it doesn't make it right... :/
This rage bait bullshit was debunked a long time ago, they never claimed 10 would be last and there's no official word on 12 being Saas, all of this shit is just mad-boy anger fuel.
You make it sound like it's not rocket surgery /s
For people upset about the 10-is-the-last-version thing, even though where they said it was not an official communication and was probably either misstated or misunderstood, the tech media picked up on it and Microsoft knew that's what people thought they said and they did nothing to dispel that notion, at all.
So on that one, there was a good reason to think that's what they said, and since they let that very common misconception that was actively reported in the tech news media continue without any attempt to correct, the anger is every bit as justified as if Microsoft did actually say it.
They didn't. That was an "evangelist" talking to Devs one time and the media ran with it.
They didn't seem to dissuade anyone of the notion, but they never repeated it officially.

But it fits my narrative so I will believe in it
