Re: That was fast
I think he's referring to those farts from the top MS echelons about how, in this / current day & age of [monetizing the service path], Windows is going to be with us, for ever and ever, as [smoothly, unnoticeably, rotfl] self-upgradable service. waas or something
...
Damn, that Google search is good (1st hit), there goes from some 'MS employee' :
"The Windows 10 operating system introduces a new way to build, deploy, and service Windows: Windows as a service. Microsoft has reimagined each part of the process, to simplify the lives of IT pros and maintain a consistent Windows 10 experience for its customers.
(...)
Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years.
..
oh, and this gem:
Device compatibility in Windows 10 is also very strong; new hardware is not needed for Windows 10 as any device capable of running Windows 7 or later can run Windows 10. In fact, the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 10 are the same as those required for Windows 7. Most hardware drivers that functioned in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 will continue to function in Windows 10.
- but that was 'then', and the latest (in a loooong series of) MS-generated problems is now, eh.
