synceDD@lemmy.world 11 months agoSo what do you propose? You buy windows xp and you deserve free updates up to windows 55 until you die?

Yes updates longer than 10 years without treating os as service and refusing paying is not relevant

Do you understand what software as a service is?
Not wanting software as a service is also not proposing anything like your strawman.

Honestly, please explain.
I know SaaS, but I don’t see how that is relevant to Windows 10 and its maintenance. The OS works without requiring an Internet connection, so it’s not relying on cloud computing for much of its functionality.
Ending support for an OS is also totally normal, many FOSS OSes do it too. Whether you paid for it initially or not honestly makes little difference, at the end of the day someone else has to expend their own time to fix something for you - some might do so for free, while others want to be paid.

It's relevant to Win11. Win11 is supposed to be going SaaS. So if you want to stay on Windows but don't want SaaS....

Not wanting software as a service while asking for updates longer than 10 years 🤭

Oh it's you. Hadn't noticed or wouldn't have replied.

Complaining about paying for service while demanding > 10 years of updates is the same issue
