the reason I put this in this category is what I think the doomsayers and the Mayan thing is but just for the sake of discussion what if the Mayans were right? Recently as the news has said a large asteroid passed by "a near miss' as it was put in the news so I got to wondering ..

What if the Mayans were right?

How would the world end? Is there something 'out there' and NASA has not told us or can not detect? global warming going to make this planet unlivable? or is some nincompoop going to put a stupid topic on Neowin for everyone to laugh themselves to death ?

but seriously for a moment lets say they were right and the world ends on Fri Dec 21 How does it end? I say the there is something out there that will slam into us and its over

    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
    • I still use speccy on windows systems as a quick sysinfo thing. I know there's better but really it was the first one I used of its type
