Given the widespread reports of bugs and the violation of user choice, this is unacceptable and companies like Microsoft can only do it because they face no regulatory action to address the lack of competition
- Ekaros 2y agoI think in general regulation will go to other direction. Forcing operating systems providers to install security updates and if it mandates other updates that is accepted price for regulators.

You shall update it every two years because it is "out of support" and "insecure".
