By looking at data from statcounter, both windows 7 and xp had dropped support when they were at around 3% and 0,5% of global usage, respectively. This time, Microsoft plans to drop support for windows 10 next year, but it's still on 67% of usage. Either I'm missing something here, or they're going a very weird route...

Go ahead. Drop support for Windows 10. I stopped your mandatory updates months ago.

You cannot hurt me any longer.

Good thing there a myriad of other Linux distros that run everything 90% of home users need.

FWIW W10 Enterprise LTSC is good until 2032
