State Of Windows 8-8.1 In 2023-Beyond?

[legacyfan]

with windows 8-8.1 both ending support recently and updates stopping for them (and even browsers ending support for them as well ) is windows 8-8.1 even usable in 2023-Beyond?

Sounds like there should be dramatic music here

On Windows 8,  I plan to stick with Firefox ESR 102, through September, and with Server 2012 updates through October.  IF (and it's a big "if") Mozilla extends support to ESR 115, I will stick with Windows 8 for another year.

Beyond that, I have a PC all set up with Windows 10 LTSC 2019, all ready to go, and as customized as possible.  I have Classic Shell for the Start Menu, and I've used Winaero Tweaker to get it somewhat into submission.  So I'm ready as can be.  I will say though, I'm feeling a stir of interest over the upcoming Vista SP3.  I'd be interested to see what it brings, just for interests' sake.
