Don’t Tell Anyone But Windows 10 Will Get Another Year Of Updates

If you are looking for the regularly scheduled horrific news you can find it below the fold, with Micron announcing that their memory pricing will remain sky high until at least 2030 and Apple jacking up the prices on a variety of products because Micron ain’t the only memory maker planning on keeping prices inflated.  Instead Microsoft very quietly added a year to their Extended Security Updates for Windows 10.
