I see they're getting desperate. One year and half to eol, and still, according to statcounter, 69% of the world uses windows 10.

    I would have upgraded if they didn't include the UI changes. I don't know why Microsoft keeps trying to make these big UI changes given that they have a built-in audience of power users that have optimized since XP.

    I think it's a way to justify the update. It's probably really about telemetry and hardware control, but normies see the centered taskbar and subconciously go "this must be new technology"
