With precedents like these — the last two Windows Server editions, the last two SQL Server editions, and the last Windows client — it’s an easy bet that Microsoft will continue to crank out ESUs for software that reaches its sell-by date.

In chronological order for Windows, those dates are:. Because Microsoft has standardized on three years’ worth of ESUs, paid one year at a time, priced lowest the first year, then higher each following year — to encourage customers to upgrade to a still-supported edition — those practices will be continued for Windows Server.

Windows 10 will almost certainly keep to those parameters; the first ESU will extend support to Oct. Although it may be easy for some to dismiss the idea of ESUs for Windows 10 simply because the successor Windows 11 is, at least initially, largely a UI and UX remodel, that would be to underestimate the impact of the latter’s change to hardware requirements.

Because Microsoft will demand that Windows eligible devices sport 8th-generation or later Intel processors, some in-place PCs will be unable to run the OS. The percentage in an organization largely depends on the org’s replacement cycle tempo. The number of affected systems will be significantly smaller by Windows 10’s retirement in four years, but few things raise customer hackles more than Microsoft making them spend hardware budgets simply to run the next iteration of some software.

Computerworld ‘s forecast: Microsoft will offer ESUs for no other reason than to soothe such customers, no matter the number of unable-to-run machines.
