Is there a right to (free) software updates? Should one be there? How long should the mandated updates/support last?
- harry8 6y agoThere's an implied right that the goods are fit for purpose for their lifespan. I don't think a lack of security because they stop offering /any/ updates at /any/ price is resulting in machines fit for purpose. Updates should last as long as they say on the tin (eg "the lifespan of this laptop expires in jan 2022") when you buy it and it should be noted in bold that the machine should be considered unusable after that date.
