MS extends Win7 Pro security updates past Jan 2020... for a fee

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Well at least they're giving businesses a way to keep using Win7 Pro after end of support on Jan 2020 until 2023, but it will cost.

Won't include Win7 Home though.

Pricing not announced yet.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

So I guess they don't want to have a repeat of XP that was extended for another 2-3 years?

Now thinking about this more, I bet there will be those that will post the updates for free.
