I'm trying to remember how they did the Win10 rollout. Back then they still had the MSDN listing publicly available. I wanna say that they made it available that same day that they released it, but I don't quite remember. I definitely don't remember the Win10RTM being leaked before the MSDN files. I specifically remember OEM files coming long after the MSDN ones. Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but no I don't remember any RTM leak or any such thing before the actual announced events. I also suspect that Thursday's event is just the announcement for the release and not the actual release day event.
Ronan Keating - You say it best, when you say nothing at all. I was genuinely chocked when I heard and read this info about Windows 11 and yes I'm realizing I'm late to the party on this. I thought Windows 10 was going to be the last Windows and that Windows from that point would be provided as a service. Now there is news about Windows 11, so surreal....
Why is this so hard to grasp to some of you. So what if someone 7 years ago said Windows 10 will be last Windows ever. There was nothing official about that. Windows 11 is coming out and that's all there is to it, also it won't be the last.
Microsoft quote for the win: "Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10." - May 7, 2015 - Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist
windows 11 releasing ? Microsoft is all set to launch Windows 11 on August 29, 2021, which will be available to the general public. The operating system will be available via Update Centre in Windows 10 and Windows 7.
"Windows 11" is just marketing. Arguing over the naming of the OS is stupid. They have been releasing new versions of Windows nearly every year. 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809, 1903, 2004. All of those were new versions of Windows just under the brand name of "Windows 10". So instead of 21H2 we will be getting "Windows 11".
Yeah I know, but you have to admit that the quote I posted directly from an Microsoft employee fooled me so much that I'm ashamed for believing it.
What I think is hilarious is now people using Windows 11 want Windows 10 Start Menu, and people using Windows 10 want Windows 7 Start Menu.
There are always two kinds of people: some who have the glass always half empty and others who always have a glass half full ... And one more thing - some people want always this, which is not the case at the moment. They just always have to whine, growl. They are simply such.
