The man who thinks users are idiots if they don't regard each new user interface as an improvement on the one that preceded it does not seem to be able to read the nuances in Microsoft's Windows lifecycle statements.
Otherwise, he would have noticed that the Windows 10 entry, unlike the other versions, includes the date of release:
"Windows 10, released in July 2015"
This is the whole point. Obviously, the version of Windows 10 that exists ten years hence (assuming Microsoft stick to their stated plan) will not be the same software as was released in July 2015. It will have been subject to many updates. Does this mean that "Windows 10" will continue to support all hardware, in perpetuity? No, of course not. Microsoft are replacing discrete version numbers with a policy of continuous development. As hardware evolves, so too will parts of the Windows software. Those parts won't be installed on hardware that won't support them. And Microsoft are drawing a line, as they must, on the age of the hardware that they will continue to support.
Perhaps at some point Microsoft will simply drop the version number altogether, and just talk about "Windows".
Even the logo on the Google homepage refuses to load.
I had a moment of "What TF have I done?' It was quite a mess until all OS and app updates were installed. I guess two FW updates were most important. Now it's quite snappy and the HW is very nice. I use Edge and IE with the old HOSTS trick to get rid of the Google shit. Hello sometimes works sometimes it does not, a few more training runs might help, I'll see.
