So, could users just ignore that and just buy an anti-virus product or use 0patch? If it's like Widows 8, most apps will still be updated for a few years.
The most important thing to get updates in the browser tbh. That's the source of nearly everything bad these days, and the main reason somebody would bother to update their PC.
I reckon they'll continue providing updates for those for as long as there's enough people using it. It's not like Google are going to willing turn round and go "whelp, no more adverts and spying for these millions of users!"
And enable a strict firewall

time to block microsoft in pihole then.
no Microsoft, no updates.
This sucks for me. I have to install Windows 11 on my other hardrive for work. I daily drive Linux.
It's hell. But at least you can dial boot the damn thing.

I'll switch my windows drive to the LTSC IoT version, when this happens. The only reason I have dual boot is for a fallback, if some games make trouble. For example for whatever reason BG3 multiplayer freezes randomly on linux. Single player is fine though. So until I got that sorted out I can fall back to windows. But when even the LTSC support runs out, then that's it completely for me.
