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

Would you believe that on the Jaws Users list, they're now talking about the
new Windows 11 and wondering when it will be accessible with Jaws? Why does
the computer industry believe that it will be able to continue to wring
profits out of the general public who uses Windows forever? It's like having
to get a new model of a car every two years except that you could get away
with not doing that. But they keep changing websites and browsers and I'm
sure only the CEO's and shareholders profit from that.
