“Windows Backup requires a Microsoft Account and uses OneDrive, which could lead consumers to go above the 5GB of free storage by having to back up documents and settings. It’s a catch that benefits Microsoft, as it can then sell Windows 10 users additional OneDrive storage space.”
So that was the play here. What a shit company!

Glad Microsoft was stopped, but only one more year of support for a system as still huge as Windows 10 is horrible. Would be a shame if we all just jumped ship to Linux instead of sticking with Micro$hit…
(PS. Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition is recommended for those new to Linux)

Linux > Microsoft. It’s lighter and so much faster

This is not strictly speaking relevant – but quite a few people in the know about tech think windows is going to become a 100% free software at some point in the near future, funded by ads.

Gatekeeping security vulnerabilities behind a paywall is the surest way to see endless lawsuits or perhaps even regulatory punishements as governments that uses MC products dont see lightly on cooperate blackmail.
It basicly comes down to MS having done a risk management analysis and found that adding fuel to the fire for the advocates that are responsorable for the current migration away from Windows.

Apple OS updates, including security updates have always been free 🙂
Apple “office” apps – Pages, Numbers, Keynote – are also included and free with Apple devices.

Fake news, though it’s the verge, so I don’t know what I expected.
To get the ESU, you need to sign in with a Microsoft Account, just like it was announced months ago.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Too late. Because of this behavior I left windows for the first time.
I’m 31 and used windows my whole life.
I’m a power user that had a Dell XPS from 2017.
Yes it’s an older laptop, but I was able to upgrade RAM and battery pretty easily.
It’s a machine with 32gb RAM that can’t upgrade to windows 11 because of it’s older CPU which I can’t upgrade, because it’s soldered to the motherboard.
But it was still fine. I used modern engineering software daily with it.
**Planned Obsolescence.**
15 years back, Laptops would have made a quantum leap in progress, so an upgrade would have been sensible.
Nowadays that’s not the case so they have to invent ways for me to buy something new.
I detest this behavior with every fiber of my body.
