Yeah, this is nothing new.

False; it's now going to be offered to consumers, too.

That's the entire article, you're welcome.

Given that the alternative for consumers was to not get security updates at all, that's pretty sweet. I'd either upgrade to Windows 11, or swap to Linux though.

Yeah this is good news to me assuming the updates are priced like the service packs of yesteryear

The change this time around is not 3 more years having to code for IE9 😄
