• Microsoft extends end-of-life for Win10 version 1809 Pro and Home

    How about that.

    This was just posted on the official Windows Release Information page:

    We have been evaluating the public health situation and understand the impact this is having on many of our customers. To help ease some of the burdens customers are facing, we are going to delay the scheduled end of service date for the Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations, and IoT Core editions of Windows 10, version 1809 to November 10, 2020. This means devices will receive monthly security updates only from June to November. The final security update for these editions of Windows 10, version 1809 will be released on November 10, 2020 instead of May 12, 2020.

    Not sure what the “security updates only” part means — MS has already said it’s going to stop dropping its ill-conceived “optional, non-security, C/D Week” patches for Win10, starting in May.

    That’s one of the five things I listed in my Computerworld article last week Five steps Microsoft should take RIGHT NOW to help us through the pandemic. Maybe we’ll get the other four?

    Hope springs eternal.

    UPDATE: MS has also extended end-of-life dates for Server 1809, SharePoint Server 2010, and Project Server 2010. Details from Mary Jo Foley on ZDNet.
