They should have just stopped at Windows 10.

Maybe even made it such at a license is for 5 years and you'll need to renew at the end of the period if you want updates.

With something like an OS I do not want bold redesigns every other year.

A bold "about the same design" would be very nice.

requiring a paid license for updates just leads to people not installing security updates.

I know. This is a hard problem. Most companies just make it a subscription, but I wish it wasn't that way since you end up not owning the the software which you bought.
