Microsoft 'Confirms' Windows 7 New Monthly Charge
Full story:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/09/08/microsoft-windows-7-monthly-charge-windows-10-free-upgrade-cost/#1bfa5ed12db1

Microsoft MSFT +0.44% has always described Windows 10 ƒ oas a serviceƒ and
leaks have already revealed new monthly charges are coming. Of course,
for Windows 7 owners this was never something they expected to pay. But
times changeƒ Ý

In a new blog post entitled ƒ oHelping customers shift to a modern
desktopƒ , Microsoft has announced that it will indeed start charging
Windows 7 customers a monthly fee from January 14th 2020, if they want
to keep their computers safe.

If this date rings a bell, thatƒ Ts because it is the day Microsoft will
end ƒ ~Extended Supportƒ T for Windows 7 according to the companyƒ Ts
Lifecycle page. This means no more patches or security updates unless,
as we now learn, you pay. Furthermore, Microsoft says it will increase
the cost of this every year.

.... more ....
