Considering it should have been the last Windows ever... Yeah.

Remember when Windows 10 were advertised as the final and only Windows? Pepperidge farm remembers...

[–] watcher@nopeeking.link 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah that was my inspiration 😀

They did that with XP also. It will be the windows experience!

They didn’t. It’s kinda weird how many people “remember” advertisements that never existed. It was literally one Microsoft employee saying things, in an unofficial capacity.

That was back when Mac was still OS X right? Once they hit 11 numbers had to go up. It's why there isn't a Xbox 2.

No, it's about M$ saying Windows 10 will be last Windows ever...

And yeah, basically everybody knew that ot wasn't going to be the case, but we can still throw it in their faces.
