I hope they stick with recall and other BS so offices would hopely make the switch to other OSes once W10 will be EOL.

Y'all are crazy to think businesses won't just switch it off and will instead completely switch operating systems. Linux is too much trouble for large fleets as the tools to manage them aren't as powerful as they are for windows iirc. Linux is also not ready for full businesses use aside from IT people and some very simple tasks, still too many hiccups when using and lacking software

Realistically, a lot of businesses would stick with Windows 10 way past EOL anyway. This happened with 7.

Wasn't talking just about Linux, but any other OS which is not Microsoft. For office stuff even chromeOS is enough really. If they have to change hardware to update Windows they could just go for an alternative for much less. Still this will be the minority of course
