I can't even INSTALL the latest versions of W10 on one computer (with fairly capable hardware) unless I do it via VM so I'm not sure that apart from a few things that I must have Windows for whether I really care any more.
I'm not a gamer so Windows for Gaming isn't for me -- I basically only use Office (particularly EXCEL), Outlook, PHOTOSHOP, a VPN to access corporate applications like their SAP systems, and sometimes some real time Video capturing hardware which needs to run on a real PC.
For the rest Linux serves me fine -- with IOMMAX and pass thru on VM's I can get almost native performance and although some are having problems I really like the idea more and more to exposing Windows services in Kubernetes which seems to be the way a lot of I.T services are going.
So Oct 2025 is going however you look at it to be a very different "Eco system" for Windows.
5 - 6 years in I.T, application Software and hardware is like a geological age -- Will Ms even exist in present form in 5 to 6 years -- who knows - I'd hate to guess. All one can say nearly every prediction made for future technological advances have been exceeded many times over -- Sci Fi fans just read some of the early Isaac Asimov stories !!!!

I'm very confused here. Why are you quoting a post I made in a totally different forum here in this one? Not, repeat for all to avoid more issues, not being argumentative. I just do not get the cross-quoting between threads/forums. What connections are you trying to make between me, Paul Black, Kari, Insiders, and W11 whatever it may be.
