you lose all of your Edge browser data even from before the account was attached.

Why do people do this? Last time I worked on a computer that had Edge, I checked out the Task Manager, and like 7 or 8 instances of it were running taking up CPU and memory even though the fucking browser wasn't open.

Do people just enjoy suffering?

Well you typed N and got Notepad, but obviously that wasn't what you wanted because you kept typing. So you typed O. Since you didn't want Notepad, my next guess is Notepad++.
Well, you typed NO and got Notepad++, but you kept typing "T" so I must not have guessed what you want yet. Let's see, what else do I have that start with NOT?

That's a shitty way of operating because a lot of people type faster than results appear on screen

I fully expect Microsoft to release a worm by the end of the year that bricks any computer running any version of Windows but 11. Maybe they'll also give the option to avoid bricking as long as you pay a monthly "legacy software maintenance fee". After all, the older versions of Windows are no longer being patched, which makes them vulnerable to viruses, and if your old computer gets a virus my new computer might get a zero-day variant of that virus. Upgrade to Windows 11 today! We're all in this together!

They still have various commitments to support older versions of Windows, and they usually aren't in the habit of screwing over their business customers who relied on those commitments.
Windows 8.1 is still in extended support until January, and Win10 2019 LTSC is supported till 2029, among others. Plus their various customers already paying for special legacy support on Windows 7.

I'm kinda curious, how many customers are doing this?

Because if it's a lot then it boggles the mind that Microsoft would rather dive into the telemetry bloat nightmare instead of read the room. To most people, 7 was the last best Windows before 8 and 10 came along and fucked everything up, and almost every business winds up with Irritable Bowel Syndrome just at the thought of installing 10 on their computers. So if they are still getting a lot of cash for it, one would think that at least one person would go "hey... what if, maybe we keep re-releasing 7 or make a new OS like 7 but tweak it?".

inb4 "Maybe that's what 8 and 10 were supposed to be" except even with 7's later telemetry on their updates at least the user had SOME sort of control on their own OS as opposed to this "we know better than you" mentality and contempt that Microsoft has for their user base.

No idea, but this is the last year it's being offered so soon it'll be zero.

In my experience it's nothing personal with the corporate customers and they'd just as happily dump all their employees right into Win11 Home hell. The ones paying for extended support are the ones with some essential application they can't migrate to 10 or replace for whatever reason.

Windows says my 2016 laptop isn’t compatible. Don’t know why, don’t care either 8)

Going to miss Photoshop when Windows 10 gets inevitably fearmongered to death in a few years though!
