Windows 7: The one-year support cutoff countdown begins One year from January 14, Microsoft will no longer support Windows 7 for free. (Only for pay). Is there any chance of an XP-like extension? Don't expect a huge upgrade wave. But Microsoft has a way around this... Microsoft is pushing Microsoft 365 (not simply Windows 10) as the upgrade path for Windows 7. Will folks bite? Free support for lots of other products expires on January 14, 2020, too: Office 2010, Windows Server 2008/R2, Exchange Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2010 and more. Related: Desktop App Assure is generally available. Will it convince Win7 users that their apps will likely work on Win 10? Related: PC sales have now fallen for seven years. But there is some good news too. Folding Windows, Dual-Screen Style A leaked build of Windows 10 19H1 indicates Microsoft is adding support for foldable (aka, dual screen) devices to Windows. What does this really mean? Is Andromeda in the wings? (NOPE). Meanwhile: Speculation mounts that Microsoft could show off the new HoloLens at MWC in February. Windows 10 Microsoft pushed a bunch of Cumulative Updates with loads of bug fixes for WIn 10 1703, 1709, 1803. It also (interestingly) pushed a small Cumulative Update with fixes for Win 10 19H1 Fast Ring build 18312. Microsoft's latest customer wins: Some patterns emerge Microsoft is having luck courting retailers who are scared of Amazon (See Kroger, Walmart and most recently, Walgreens). Good news for Azure, M365. Cortana was MIA at CES, but its "Virtual Assistant Accelerator" wasn't. MS gets its virtual assistant tech into BMW, UEI, LG Electronics. The $10 billion JEDI jackpot's coming up in April. Looking like an Amazon-Microsoft dogfight. MS keeps adding more govt. certifications leading up to it (Outlook Mobile is latest).
