    Microsoft to offer paid Windows 7 Extended Security Updates
    Full story: <https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-offer-paid-windows-7-extended-security-updates/>

    Microsoft is stepping up its Windows 7 migration campaign with a paid
    security update option, Desktop App Assure service and more.

    With the Windows 7 end-of-support clock slowly winding down to January
    14, 2020, Microsoft is announcing it will offer, for a fee, continuing
    security updates for the product through January 2023. This isn't the
    first time Microsoft has done this for a version of Windows, but it may
    be the first time it has been so public about its plans to do so.
