#181507 — 365 dies on W10

Hi Matt,

When W10 goes out of support, Office 365 dies:

The is the problem with "rent-ware".  I do believe this mainly
affect you and Max.  As far as I know, everyone else if
using the actual version.

M$ wants everyone on W11 and is playing hard ball.  This
is becasue W11 is where they are installing both CoPilot
and Recall and they want your data desperately to sell.

Disregard.  I forgot to change my sender address.

That's not it at all. They want you on W11, so they can
bundle CoPilot AI <insert name of SKU> with the Office 365 offering and
raise the price for it. Call it "O365-Greased-Rail".

   https://www.zdnet.com/article/its-official-all-your-office-apps-are-getting-ai-and-a-price-increase/

      "Copilot AI features, along with a price increase of at least 30%"

And if they want to do that, the ingredients may already
be on a W10 install. And then later, on a W11 install.

   "Here, let me open Word for you."

I imagine that LibreOffice will continue to work. I've been using it and 
its predecessor, OpenOffice, for 15 years or more, and don't recall ever 
having had any problems. I think it supports all Office 365 document 
formats, though I've never had cause to use it for anything other than 
word processing and spreadsheets.
