I know Microsoft well enough, I've been using their products since the 80s.
It's probably the only company that has sunset products on me as I still used them, twice.
- cubefox 4y agoCompare support for Windows with support for Android. It's day and night.
- muyuu 4y agoNot that I consider Google to be a benchmark in this matter, or relevant to the conversation, but it's not a fair comparison. Android support, at least as it pertains to function and security, lasts a lot more than the average Android device. Network support has abandoned me earlier than the OS. Phones are in many ways rather short-lived. However several Windows upgrades have left perfectly working computers unsupported. Computers can and do last many years, esp. those dedicated to specific stuff. Having said that both companies do have a history of abandoning projects, and when it comes to some new web service it's hit and miss with either regarding long term support.
