Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows?

[–] K4mpfie@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They never actually said this. Some MS Engineer did and the press ran with it.

And even that engineer only said "last" to mean "latest", which is obvious from context, but why let that get in the way of clickbaity articles.

It happens a lot by german talking people. Latest and last are the same word here

That's the stupidest way to say that. Of course when it's released it will be the latest release.

He was asked what they are working on now that they released Windows 10. He said they are still working on Windows 10 as it's the last (latest) release of Windows and still being developed. Yes he could have worded it better.
