    You mean like they did when Windows 7 went EoL?

    Or when Windows XP went EoL?

    Or when NT 4.0 went EoL?

    This isn’t the first time Windows has gone EoL in a corporate environment; what makes you think it’ll be better or worse than previously? Some will begin the Win11 transition, some will pay for extended support until Windows 12, a few might switch to Linux, and the rest will run unsecured until circumstances force them to fix it.

      This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.

      I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.
