Win11 not even fully done like Win10 was when Win11 released makes me doubt that rumor is going to be true.
I believe Win11 got 4 majors only and it havent even got an EOL date announced: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/lifecycle/products/windows-11-home-and-pro

My call: BS.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

🤦🏻‍♂️ Apparently Pepperidge farm doesn’t remember that that was in no way official, and just just an employee saying things.

Yeah but thwy wont stomp Win11 after 4 majors.
Maybe after 8-12 or so.

Do current versions typically get EOL announcements? I wouldn't expect it to make sense to announce EOL that early unless it's a product on some sort of cadenced release schedule

Any other OS usually does. It helps enterprise customers make cost projections.

I am not certain about the consumer versions of Windows.
I only know about those pages since I started working.

The Windows Server versions do have an EOL in advance (search "EOL Windows (edition)" -> EOL Windows Server 2022).
