    It's expected to keep running, but it will no longer be
supported on Win10. If MS changes their server
config to break something on Win10 (woops!) that's legit in
accord with their announcement. No promises. It's a perfect
example of why people should avoid cloud. The software is still
installed locally, but it depends on the rental company being
able to access it and accessing their server.

   So why pay rental when one can buy an older version of
the real product for little more than a couple of months rent?

   There can also be hidden issues with rental. For example, when
Adobe made PS rental-only they started storing files online by
default. Anyone who didn't know to make copies in public formats
locally would lose all their work if they ended the rental.... And of
course, rental costs more in the long run. That's the whole point
of rental software. These products are mature, so there's little
incentive to buy the latest copy.
