Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

    But unlike server aided services an OS still keeps working. You can use that PC for 10 more years, if you like.

    I think there’s a discrepancy in the understanding of ‘support’ and what it entails in different technology fields. Demanding to receive NEW features for decades is not feasible in the current economic environment.

      The biggest issue is security updates and a current internet browser.

      Of course I can use a 30 year old computer that still works with the software it can run.
