The risk for both general and corporate business users far outweighs any minor inconveniences of moving to a new OS version.

Minor inconveniences like HAVING TO BUY A WHOLE NEW FUCKING COMPUTER.

These people live in a fantasy world.

Other minor inconveniences may include:

  • AI spyware on systems (a very real issue with corporate and government machines)
  • Legacy software not working in the new OS
  • A drastic decrease in OS productivity
  • Damage to hardware (potential as reported)
