    Enterprises will have to upgrade once security support for 10 is dropped. Microsoft can even charge them extra to extend that maintenance window if they wanna squeeze more life out of the OS but it’s so crazy expensive that Microsoft clearly has the upper hand here.

    Through their OEM deals, you’ll have a hard time finding a new computer with anything other than 11, and software developers can only support so many versions of Windows so they’ll have to drop older releases to be sure they can keep up with all those new computers people are forced to buy.

    No one wanted to upgrade to 10 either, yet here we are. Microsoft knows exactly what they’re doing and have no qualms about how insidious it all is.
