   Microsoft reveals subscription pricing for using Windows 10 beyond 2025, and it's not cheap. Customers will need to pay $61 per device, which will double every year for three years, to remain secure on Windows 10. If you just do shopping or social media you can use alternative os like Ubuntu, Mint, or pop os for your older computer instead of jumping to windows 11. Also regardless of windows 10 or 11 prices you will still get Ads in Windows 😂 #linux #privacy #security Choose wisely

     @nixCraft Sure if I upgrade to Windows 11 I'll be handing over an unprecedented amount of my private data, but if I stick with Windows 10 anything could happen! People might even take my private data!

     @nixCraft I suspect that many orgs will be comparing this cost against the cost of buying new hardware, especially if the portion of their fleet that cannot run Win11 is not small.

     @nixCraft ads and personalized ads are two different things right?

     @nixCraft So they'll finally stop forcing updates to my machine at no extra cost? Fantastic, hardware driver stability!

     @nixCraft I'm not sure how this is news. This seems the same as the Windows 7 extended support. Basically when the software goes EOL you either stop using it or if you absolutely can't then you pay for extended support...

     @nixCraft Isn't this what Ubuntu's Expanded Security Maintenance and RHEL's Extended Update Support do? Extending security updates for a product beyond their normal life cycle for an additional fee?
