I wasn’t pointing out that there are extended updates, I was pointing out that customer associations can apply pressure. That’s the only way Microsoft can be limited from taking more and more profit share with increasingly enshittified products.
People are much more likely to use windows as employees, rather than business owners. So I don’t think an average Lemmy user (lemmings?) will be interested in commenting anything seriously about it.
Business owners can form association and apply pressure. E.g. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/news-windows-10-security-updates-european-economic-area-customers/
If you’re an employee, why give a damn…
The free extended updates are only for private consumers, companies don’t get them.

Most companies should’ve already switched over so afaict there wasn’t enough push back.
I don’t see how employees giving a damn is relevant to what I said, can you rephrase that?
