Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

Heh, I only keep it for a limited use case. I have backups of the software, so I'm good until win7 won't run on new hardware.

No need for any updates when what I use works perfectly for me.

    music producer?

    I've heard of some buying bulk macbooks and cloning their drives because knowing your workflow is the most important thing.

    Atari Teenage Riot's music is still produced on an Atari ST.

    Nah, just particular about how my media is played. I have my media box set up exactly how I like it, and don't like the available programs on Linux. Every year or two I go and retry things, or try new options though, in case things get to where I want them
