The lawsuit demands free support until Windows 10 is left on the sidelines.

    It sounds like a pretty weak argument to be honest. I wouldn’t bank on this actually delaying the EOL date.

      It wont, but there was specific ads that had win 10 as “Windows 10 is the last Windows ever”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENu1_5046YY

        Which ad? That’s a video from a random YouTuber, not an official Windows 10 ad from Microsoft.

          You don’t remember the employees and MS? There was a ton back in the day.

          I think it was Terry Myerson that said it. And I remember MS talking about it via my IT department. Them Terry left and it’s history now.

            A single developer named Jerry Nixon said it a single time at a conference. Microsoft never confirmed that it was an official policy, the “ton” of other employees saying it never existed, and it never was a tagline nor appeared in a single ad.

    "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.” That was the message from Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist speaking at the company’s Ignite conference…

    Seems like Microsoft was destined to create another XP issue from the start of Windows 10 (2015).
