The price is per PC.I have 3 Windows 10 computers. Would I have to pay for all of them?
I honestly thought straight up nearly no one would pay, not so much for the price itself, but rather because:The amount of people saying it's okay to pay 30 bucks for security updates is alarming.. lol
1-people here love to go "fuck Macro$hit" and such, lol, so for the people here I'd have thought "nah, no one's paying for this"
2-Everyone else that is not tech-savvy: wouldn't pay because
2.1-Wouldn't know this exists
2.2-Doesn't care
2.3-Doesn't want to spend 30 bucks that could be spent elsewhere.
I don't see it happening? I don't think Microsoft is that crazy to go after the home users that just passively keep Windows' userbase up. Plus, Windows isn't that relevant as a direct money generator (you could argue it makes up for that by being a platform for Microsoft to offer a number of things on and such, but straight up Windows licensing isn't generating that much revenue), so I don't think they want to make home users look into alternative operating systems just for trying to squeeze two more bucks out of them. Then again, some of Microsoft's moves in the past have been eyebrow-raising so we'll see what happens if it happens.Really is, because if MS can see people paying for this then they'll be charging for the large yearly updates like 24H2 next.
LOL, though true enough, people do buy those. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021's support ends on 2032, plenty of time.
Home users seems to only get the one year extension. Companies can get up to 3 years, but the price doubles each year. Education gets it for 1 dollar per user.I'm surprised that the price isn't higher. If someone asked me I would thought it would be higher.
