How many non-tech people actually know about this? And how many of that small percentage are actually going to toss their computer as a result of it?

Because for the average computer user, they will never wonder why there are no more updates. And as long as their computer still browses the internet they don’t care even if you notify them.

Microsoft tried for years to get people off of fucking internet explorer and barely succeeded.

Do you really think that Microsoft is going to let these people exist in ignorant bliss?

You underestimate people’s ability to dismiss pop ups and notifications without retaining any of the information in them.

I’m definitely not, I work in IT 🤣 That doesn’t mean Microsoft won’t try.
