Comment on Microsoft lays out Windows 10 life support prices

If you want an activation key to apply to a Windows 10 device, you’ll pay $61 per device for Year 1.
And that Year 1 is significant. Microsoft noted: “The price will double every consecutive year for a maximum of three years. If you decide to jump into the program in Year Two, you’ll have to pay for Year One too, as ESUs are cumulative.”
$61 => $122 => $244
And it’s 100% profit per each device, since there is no ongoing work happening.

This is going to be a big problem for corpos, buying a new pc/laptop that meets the requirements with NPU and 16GB RAM is not a cheap. Especially for mid/small companies.
