       | Microsoft relent on this move. Last I checked Windows 10 is still
       | a very popular OS and I find it unlikely that people are going to
       | update if they haven't already. If some kind of WannaCry attack
       | happens due to a security hole it's going to look bad on them.

       | Also, as a kinda dark humor moment. October 14th is the
       | retirement day of Windows 10, which is also international e-waste
       | day. Unless I missed the memo, I thought it was an effort to
       | prevent creating e-waste not one of planned obsolescence to try
       | and make more.
