That beige box running a server is easily forgotten ... until it goes wrong

There you can see how bad they are treating their customers, declaring end of support against their wishes and demands.

I hope this is sarcastic.

Is MS supposed to support everything in perpetuity?

I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm or just ignoring the many many foss projects with forced deprication.

Are you just trying to tell me that FOSS projects usually do what their customers need?

👌

At least they can be forked if someone needs them enough.

What? There’s lots of reasons to complain about Microsft, but their legacy support is not one of them. Almost every product they make gets 10 years of support + 3 more if you pay for it. In comparison, Postgres only does 5, MySQL is 8, and Mongo is 3.
