When will Microsoft stop making more Windows

'The discussion is about whether Windows will go away for ever after 2025. Some are claiming this is what MS have said. I disagree!"

You are correct. The last date for currently announced support will be in 2025 HOWEVER Microsoft can easily decide to extend that date just as they did many times for Windows XP. For all we know now Windows 10 could be supported into the next century.

Regardless of when Microsoft finally ends Windows 10 Support I believe, have no way of knowing for sure, that there will be a new OS available before 2025. However that OS might not be consumer oriented so Windows 10 will be around a while. Again that is just a guess.

I'm glad I won't be extended into the next century!

As far as I am aware the only contractual statement is the EULA which makes no indications about life. Policy statements are not in themselves binding promises.

The problems is "the last release of Windows" and "support until 2025" seem contrary but is possible.

Microsoft have a long development lead time, 8 was already in development before 7 was even released, they had the touch UI worked out before iPads came out.

Somebody knows what the plan is, we are just going to have to wait.

As soon as the Creator update comes out it will make a lie of the "last release" statement. Of course all it means is "last release so far".

Microsoft is making storm windows & aluminum siding now. Check out the Windows Store! <wink>
