That 10 years flew by it seems.

M$ would be clever to offer the ESU to 'normal' customers as well... so who wants to still stick with 7 for the next 2 years would have a real option.
But I would't be surprised when they screw up Win10-Users the same way, when a successor arrives. :-/

Lawyers probably told them that they would be legally liable for leaving the OS in a damaged state.

I waited with upgrade to W10 until recently, its a so-so... had some issues already but I was able to solve the retarded problems fortunately (win 10 kept installing redundant sound drivers crippling the whole PC, no matter what you did to prevent that)
So yea, after god knows how many years, W10 seem to be usable system, when you spend few weeks tweaking, that is.

I'm sure MS will provide more patches in the future. Still have a ton of Windows 7 based PC's in use they can't ignore that. I suspect a decent amount of Windows 7 usage will stick around 5+ years. Honestly how many of us non-business users actually call Microsoft for windows support anyhow? So realistically all you loose is new patches going forward. Personally I have been on Windows 10 since it came out but if people want to stay on the old I can't blame them there is certainly some stability with the old.

Most people of this forum will be ok with an outdated OS, as we know how to properly use it. I have been using windows with no antivirus for years (excluding windows defender). I Think it will be nice to deliver us a free OS like windows 7 or XP, in science theres a lot of software (and some equipment) with only XP or 7 support.

The so-called power users refusing to move on from unsupported Windows, or run Win8 without having updated it for years, are their own worst enemy. And their PCs being part of botnets actually do affect everyone else in the end.
I totally get why Microsoft did decide to finally force updates in Win10, seeing again and again how Windows systems are infected, when they actually have released security updates against those exploits. Though I do agree that it's too aggressive.
Though if you do think Windows 10 itself is plagued by too many issues, you could always let your grandma use Ubuntu LTS instead.
