Comment on E-waste or Linux? Charities face tough choices as Windows 10 support ends

No no, that’s the point. To infect as many computers as absolutely possible, all clogging down every network, and eventually microsoft will have to address the issues.

What do you care? I assume you’re on linux and wouldn’t be affected either way.

You seem to have a lot more faith in microsoft than I do.

My concern is the likelyhood that companies using MS products will cut corners by using deprecated/unsupported OSs for years after the last security patch, which will lead to security breaches for many consumers.

Not on Linux yet, but I really need to make the switch soon. Will be nice to actually have some semblance of control over my own personal devices.

  That likelihood is high, real and current.
