Office is not supported on those platforms at all so won't make a difference to your support.
To me it means letting people know that Mint is free and comes with Libre Office, also free.
LibreOffice works on MacOS too!
Windows 10 will become unsupported but I still anticipate it working fine even without updates. I suspect office will work the same on existing machines.
You can safely use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC or Windows 10 IoT LTSC perfectly safely until 2032--as that's when the LTSC will stop receiving updates.
But the versions will always work. They simply won't be protected against new threats or bugs.
You will continue to receive Windows Defender updates. I have a Windows 8.1 tablet that keeps updating Microsoft Defender antivirus. It's only used to connect to RTSP streams for music.
What if you pay for ESU?
365 is not equals office ltsc. fuck off with the clickbait titles.
LibreOffice FTW screw Microshaft!
Oh no, we'll have to use something other than terrible, AI ridden MS office? How terrible
laughs in Office 2007 and laughs even harder in LibreOffice
I still install Office 2007 in older machines. It may not have the newest features but still does the job and it's enough for most people.
Also, laughs harder-er in Google Workspace 😂😂😂
google workspace? why would you upload your (and others?) documents to google? that's no better than microsoftcs online office
I wonder if this also means that specialty license of 10 that isn't stopping support. I was considering using that before going to 11. The name escapes me of what it was, though.
You have the same options you always had. Upgrade to Windows 11, switch to Apple, switch to *nix.
I just nuked windows off my last computer and went pure Linux.
Fuck windows for doing that; I unintentionally switched to MacOS
