Well, it's not like we didn't know it was coming. Or, at least, if there are people who didn't know it was coming they should have known. It will also be rather hard to hang back and continue to use Windows 10. Upon the release of Windows 11 all developers of Windows compatible software will stop developing it for Windows 10 and the longer you hang onto Windows 10 there will be fewer web sites and software that will work with it. And you can bet on this too. As soon as Windows 11 is released they will start working on Windows 12 if they have not already started. Will the new operating system have improvements? Probably, but that does not mean that the one we are using now couldn't have those improvements added. Of course, eventually the operating system has to be replaced is there is going to be any improvement at all. I doubt that many of the functions of Windows 10 could be added to the original Windows, for example. But I really do strongly suspect that such frequent replacements are examples of planned obsolescence. And planned obsolescence has long been a way to rake in profits. I read somewhere that one of the original light bulbs was still burning. If they had continued to make light bulbs like that it would have gotten to the point that it would have been very hard to sell a light bulb. So the burned out light bulb had to be invented.

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through disbelief and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were so! Your patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply a child's wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the eveastingly bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory scientifically demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had not the courage to follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely, you must realize that we created God, and that all of us together now have killed him.” ― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept
