I'm still confused why Windows 11 is even a thing, as Windows 10 was advertised as "the last version of Windows": https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/what-h...

Actually the source I linked lays it out pretty clearly:

> That (in)famous statement was actually spoken by Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist at Microsoft, whose job is to get developers excited about developing for Microsoft Store, at the 2015 Microsoft Ignite. Nevertheless, the technology media blew it up, and soon everyone was accepting it as gospel. But it never was.

But still, I just want stability. Also the lack of support for older hardware - I just built a PC four years ago and am being told its not good enough for 11? No thanks.

Windows 11 started as what was left from Windows 10X project, but going forward with Win32/COM instead of WinRT/UWP.
