    Why l would pay 30$ to dumpester fire OS to use it securely for another year when l could install Linux for free with more than 7 year security? And consumers can only pay for single year. It just shows how M$ doesn’t care about their costumers treating them like lab rats.

      Extended support is pretty much intended exclusively for enterprises.
