As I have been saying for a year now, I foresee a Windows 7 situation all over again that despite Microsoft's best efforts to bully people into upgrading, that eventually they will continue offering updates for Windows 10 that they didn't want to have to offer simply because so many business machines will still be running it to support other legacy software.
If a third of Steam users are still using it, you can bet that it's a similar number of small businesses without the resources to upgrade, especially when the real economy is in a free-fall.
we can only hope. If the AI bubble doesn't pop before this time next year (and that's a big if), I think Microsoft will be too invested in AI to not keep pushing everyone into their most AI-saturated OS. If the bubble does pop, then maayyyybeee they will extend support for 10. But even then, only maybe.
