> Today, Microsoft added a fourth option: migrate to Azure. Microsoft is extending the support window by three years (until July 2022 for SQL Server, January 2023 for Windows Server) for workloads hosted on Azure in the cloud. Whoever came up with this idea at Microsoft deserves a corporate medal. Partners can market intermediate lower TCO and continued support for legacy apps while they get boosted adoption for Azure and presumably the replacement workloads as well. Pure genius.
