Why l would pay 30$ to dumpester fire OS to use it securely for another year when l could install Linux for free with more than 7 year security?
And consumers can only pay for single year.
It just shows how M$ doesn't care about their costumers treating them like lab rats.
They don't expect home users to pay. Remember that they often refuse to even reboot their computers to receive security updates.
Extended support is pretty much intended exclusively for enterprises.
