    I’m getting super tired of Microsofts OS as a service. There is absolutely no reason to make operating systems obsolete.

        Yes, I do, they tried so hard to force it on me too. They went so far as to pre-download it onto my computer without my permission, and then got sneaky and tried to call it a “patch”.

          That’s what ended up getting me: when they disguised it as one of the regular service updates and installed it on my machine while I was away. Bastards.

      This is the dumbest response yet. It costs time and money to maintain an OS.

        Yeah, for all the Spyware and advertising they’ve put into the OS over the years. Requires regular maintenance to change the invasive ads they show you.

          They’re not nuking every copy of windows 10 when the service lifetime ends. They’re just not working on it anymore. If you think the regular maintenance is just updating the spyware and ads, you should be stoked.
