I bet they seen where people were switching to Linux. “Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) were supposed to end in October, but Microsoft now says the program will end on Oct. 12, 2027.”

Microsoft is forced to provide another year of security updates because a series of historic and ongoing colossal fuckups have made it more commercially viable for them to do so than the alternative.
There is no “give” here, they are doing it for themselves, that the user potentially benefits is incidental.
Say more about the reason it’s move viable please.
Microsoft is one of the richest companies in the world. They should not have to be forced to do fucking shit, they can afford to provide security updates until the sun explodes or the release a competent OS that isn’t made explicitly to steal your data.
Probably the former.
I meant ‘forced’ as in ’ forced by their capitalist greed and culture ’ not like there’s an actual threat to anything but the quarterly bonuses of the current golden parachute holder.
Eventually, perhaps they’ll fuck up enough for it to be an existential threat to the company.
I’m the meantime they’ll just continue pretending copilot is a serious contender outside of their walled garden and probably lay off a few thousand people they don’t care about, to balance the numbers.
