Microsoft slows Windows 10 release cadence to yearly. If they're all as dull as the November Update, this is fine

They just need a simpler release cycle. Windows 10 has suffered from the combination of bug and feature releases. Windows 11 serves two purposes: an EOL for Windows 10 gets MS out of "lifetime" support for Windows 10; it means new features go only into Windows 11 and Windows 10 only gets bug fixes. This makes Windows 10 more attractive to many.

As for release streams: FreeBSD has been the model to follow for decades: stable, current, and VCS, because sys admins know what they need.
