    [Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?

      I’m sure that it’s just the marketing dept changing hands over time. Marketing teams are like a Scott’s Tots situation: they are just trying to say whatever makes the product numbers look good in the near term. Fulfilling on any promises is a future marketing team’s job.

      “Of all the empty promises I have made, this one is by far the most generous”
