Yes, I'm glad companies never change their minds about their policies. When they set a date they always keep to it and have never gone back to it due to consumer demand. Oh except they do that a fair bit. Guess we'll just have to see what Microsoft actually does when it comes time.

32 years is indeed young lol. Maybe you are young yourself so it seems older? There are companies that are hundreds of years old that have gone bankrupt in the last few decades, why would Linux be any different? Again, it may work for now but who knows in the future. But 32 years is nothing. There are older Unix-based systems like Itron and QNX still around and commonly used, but not sure they'll last.

And to your last point, I can just keep Windows 10 past 2025... It's not like lack of support forces me up. Do you not realize how many people still use unsupported versions? Check out the XP life cycle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Support_lifecycle

95% of ATM's were still using it for example 5 years after mainstream support ended.
