MS is for a rude awakening when general populace will not update their hardware with record inflation.
People will just keep using insecure windows 10 versions.
Or, you know, Linux, and be done with the crap
The general populace isn't going to switch to Linux. They're just not.
The path of least resistance is to continue using Win10
Just like they did when every other version of Windows stopped being supported. That’s why Linux has a 70%+ market share on computers right now…….
I'll be doing both with Linux as my primary and Win10 as a compatibility fallback.
JFC it doesn't become a honeypot on November 1.
Those people will do what they always do, just keep using it without security updates.
Be clear about it - you'll still get Windows Defender updates, but not patches to the OS or MS applications/Utilities.
