This is exactly why I am still viewing this in IE5 within Win95.

I have a machine still running XP!
Oh yes I do.

"miss" or "don't receive" ?
I'm always subject to the second, but never the first. Elephant 'em and their marketing-driven strategies.

In less than 5 years?
I find such optimism both refreshing and amusing. Why would they start such a thing now?
MS OSes become unsupported and obsolete and they still have plenty of bugs.

Probably create a VM with it to have a look. I am not doing any active Windows dev at the moment, so no real need. My primary OS is not Windows so no upgrade in sight anyway.
Microsoft is very creative in keeping their business models current. More power to them. Many of the businesses that create for the Windows OS will see an importunity to do the same. Life is good in the Windows eco$ystem.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

With the dropping of IE11, I'm concerned the old Microsoft Money will no longer work. I use MS Money to manage all my financial accounts.

I have a Windows XP 32-bit virtual machine built specifically for that sort of situation. Some software that I use occasionally will not install on 64-bit machines (probably something to do with a 16-bit installer).

What, in Microsoft's long history, gives you that idea? They're still busy introducing new bugs in Win10!

You are probably right.

reminds me that Microsoft has known bugs that they have made public notices that they have zero intention of ever fixing. lol

Slow Eddie wrote: support for Windows 10 is dropped At that point I imagine there will be a worldwide class action against MS for mis-selling Win10, which was explicitly marketed as "the last version of Windows". If they require people to move to another version (especially with different hardware requirements) through auto-updates the fallout will be huge. ... won't it?

I certainly hope so!
Broken promises. Sheesh!

I'll upgrade to W11 when my desktop and laptop need replacing. Both are 7 years old, so it's likely they'll be replaced by 2025. I won't replace HW just to run a new OS.

I can get you a discount on an annual hall pass.
Best of luck on the new venture. Fun at any age.
