Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8, "Windows 8 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012"

Per https://www.google.com/search?q=decade+in+years, a decade is 10 years, making the above date since December 26, 2022, over a decade ago?

But possibly, per Bill Clinton, that all depends on "what the meaning of the word 'is' is"? Or I'm missing some implied sarcasm? Usually Occam's Razor would help out, but I just got downvoted twice for enumerating some historical facts on a separate thread, so who knows...

Naw simply a joke.

My mental model of Windows 8 is "that toc (terrible half of the cycle) windows release to 7's tic, that I had to remove from my Aunt's new laptop and found that UEFI made downgrading to Win7 a right ballache and I swear I did this 3 years ago not 10" How time flies.
