Hi All and RedHatters,
Windows 10 is going to be End of Life soon.
Win10 pro, yes, October 2025.
However Win10 LTSC 2021 will receive security fixes until Jan2027. And Win10 IoT until 2032.
You can also install 0patch (free for home/non commercial use) and get security hotfixes until 2030.
More info on 0patch below. They don't openly admit of taking Microsoft patches for Win10 iot and repackaging them for delivery thru the 0patch agent but I suspect that's precisely what they may do in the vast majority of bugs and exploits discovered and officially patched my MSFT. Others they patch on their own (eg they still provide hot fixes to this day for Win7)
It costs USD $28/EUR25 per machine per year, which is less costly than the Microsoft Extended support (ESU) which has a price of $61 the first year, $122 the second and $244 for the third year and that's it.
Home users will only get a single year of ESU for $30.
Which makes 0patch even more enticing https://blog.0patch.com/2024/06/long-live-windows-10-with-0patch.html
Just my $0.02

Canonical is promoting Ubuntu Pro.
Does IBM have any plans for Red Hat to take advantage of this opportunity?
I post this here as I see many people with @redhat.com frequenting here.
Thanks,
