Windows 10 End of Life (2 Viewers)

Nice try, but you already demonstrated your ignorance by asking AI and publishing its erred results in your posts. If I were you, I would crawl back under the rock you came out of 🙂
I didn't ask AI anything. I simply presented detailed, accurate, and reliable knowledge from decades of experience developing Access database applications and engineering Linux daemons, hypervisors, and networks, both physical and virtual, high-availability storage systems, components, arrays, and partitions, and directory services, specifically including Samba.

Yet another example of direct insult. And you compound the issue with:

It was warranted.

We have to get used to the idea that it is OK to technically disagree but it is NOT OK to try to insult OR to justify an insult.
Please, gentlemen, de-escalate. I'm about one more snappy insult from selectively deleting posts.

Well, I'm done with him as I have pressed the ignore button.
 
Spinning off into tangential discussions of other ODBC BEs is utterly irrelevant.
Taking the opportunity to identify one tiny thing someone said that YOU don't think is relevant or interesting to the conversation is, in itself, tangential, and quite rude and ignorant, BTW.
 
While this is not specifically an MS Windows 10 issue, it is related since Intuit is disabling Turbotax under Window 10. I have been using Turbotax for years and it is one of the reasons for retaining an MS Windows partition on my computer. Turbotax is an excellent product, but Intuit is a despicable company.

Disabling Turbotax under MS Windows 10 raises a proverbial conspiracy question concerning Microsoft. Is Microsoft quietly encouraging vendors to "disable" products when they are on computers using MS Windows 10?

PS: On my computer, MS Windows 10, was upgraded to MS Windows 11 by "accident". I wasn't paying attention to what the update message said so I went ahead and clicked OK only to find out that I was upgraded to MS Windows 11. Everything went smoothly, so there appears to be no issue.

Intuit has been phasing out their desktop versions of TurboTax and QuickBooks. They want everyone to subscribe to the online versions. We had 4 customers running integrated Access/QB apps and we had to rewrite the apps to support DotNet interop using API's to talk to QBO. All other accouting soft vendors, like Sage, have been phasing out their desktop products to force users to subscribe to their online versions. Microsoft started the whole trend with O365. That's the ulterior motive, recurring income with subscription, less costs having to support multiple versions, they now have your data, and you're locked into their world.

Fingers crossed 🤞
 
But in that position, much harder to type.
✌🏻how about now?... I'm trying my hardest not to fall into that Win11 upgrade trap. I changed registry settings to inhibit those tricky upgrade notifications, but they still popup. My Win10 desktop anyway does not meet Win11 install requirements. It's also real tricky how MS tries to get you to create an online account when adding new users. I imagine as time moves on, newer software tools will by design not run on Win10, forcing users to acquire Win11 devices. All hardware software vendors have substantially jacked up their prices to greedy money grab levels. I wonder when Access runtimes will no longer be free?
