And then remember when actual Microsoft PR went crazy to correct Jerry Nixons dumb choice of words but everyone ignored it because it wasn’t as interesting?

No, I don’t remember that.

“When I reached out to Microsoft about Nixon's comments, the company didn't dismiss them at all.”

And when you continue reading the article, you can see even the article's author expected Windows 11, because the message here was just that existing versions of Windows will continue getting updates, not that there won't be future version of Windows.

There was nothing to dismiss about the comment, if you don't misinterpret it.
