why do they have to officially announce by March? why can't they just announce it in June and come out as a hard launch in June / July?

You answered all your questions with this comment. Old OS's lose features, hardware capability, new standards and many other items than just security. No vendor is going to back to Windows 7 and make it usable for today.Because if it weren't for the thread director I would go back to Win 10.

Clearly didn't read my post. "other items than just security". Would love to know how a firewall will fix an old OS to run the newest hardware standards and feature releases.Not if you use a proper firewall. And you should.
Spoiler: It won't.Clearly didn't read my post. "other items than just security". Would love to know how a firewall will fix an old OS to run the newest hardware standards and feature releases.

That's not what I want though. I just miss the basic functionality of win 10 with the updates of win 11. You can't tell me it's too hard lolYou answered all your questions with this comment.

It is creeping up on 9-10years old at this point already.That's not what I want though. I just miss the basic functionality of win 10 with the updates of win 11. You can't tell me it's too hard lol
What features, standards, and updates can't be integrated other than a thread director and security patches? Isn't 10 similar to 11 in a lot of ways?You answered all your questions with this comment.

Can't is not the right word, it's won't. No software vendor will ever continually update an original product for free unless it's fully supported by a volunteer open source crowd. A company would not exist without the new sales or revenue channels. One of the many reasons the last few years have seen a rise in subscription models of licensing to lure in more dollars.What features, standards, and updates can't be integrated other than a thread director and security patches?

4) how can Pentium 4 run anything? wouldn't it be extremely slow? not to mention there is no way there is enough memory?
Because they have a responsibility to their shareholders and vendors. Dropping the announcement days or weeks before launch would eat into advertising revenue, exposure, and would leave vendors unprepared to make the transition.why do they have to officially announce by March? why can't they just announce it in June and come out as a hard launch in June / July?
Proper firewall does not stop users from clicking on crap, period. A proper firewall only blocks incoming (and for the few who set it up) outgoing traffic. Inspection and other crap? Most people can not afford those types of firewalls and again, if an end user clicks something, or downloads something, does not matter what perimeter devices you have on your network...Not if you use a proper firewall. And you should.

Those malicious links and downloads, they tend to exploit issues with in an OS or app that are not patched or updated, thus, hiding your windows xp box behind a firewall doesnt do jack if you are using it for day to day things. Drive by attacks via websites are very common these days, and EDR solutions can literally be bypassed with a single powershell command...
Microsoft to charge $427 to extend Windows 10 support by 3 years

I mean ... it was crappy then and it's crappy now.They did the same thing with Windows 7 after it hit EoL. This is nothing new. I suppose it makes a good click-bait headline though.

When 10 ends next year, will they still issue updates for Windows Security?
Microsoft has a good scam going. Introduce new OS requirements which means a huge amount of PC's can't upgrade, then start charging for updates to the OS they can run.
Apparently your personal data isn't worth enough anymore to pay for the free OS upgrade so they have to find revenue somewhere else.
Microsoft needs to do the right thing and extend Windows 10 security updates until at least 2026 for free. By then, 11 has been out 5 years. Their current place to only offer a couple years to force billions of upgrades isn't enough time.
My main beef is that the task bar is fixed to be horizontal thus eating up valuable vertical screen space (especially in laptops)Windows 10 and Windows 11 are so similar

That one feature alone is worth staying back on W10
That is an unnecessary mouse movement to bring back the task barIf your screen space is that limited, then why not just auto-hide the taskbar?

I prefer pinning it vertically on the side
We need a thread that is just inputting and voting on reasons people refuse to change to windows 11. This one might be one of the more funny ones ive seen.That is an unnecessary mouse movement to bring back the task bar

why only business? how does microsoft identify who the end client is? whether it's a business or home user?Microsoft to charge $427 to extend Windows 10 support by 3 years

you mentioned 11... but those cpus have it built in or its on the mobos as a requitement.And on the subject of windows 11, since some of you brought it up, I have seen some desktop / laptop that are a few yr. old, and can support Windows 11, since when does these few yr. old PC c/w TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip?

You can try this. Not sure it's an option in there but it brings back damn near everything else.That is an unnecessary mouse movement to bring back the task bar
