Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 users in the European Economic Area (EEA) will get one more year of free updates if they log in with a Microsoft account. This is a win worth celebrating. Our campaigning, writing and chanting forced one of the world’s tech giants to act. That’s no small feat and a clear sign that we have power! 

But let’s be honest: this is just a 1-year snooze button.

Consumers can only get 1 year.

It'd be great to switch everyone to Linux, but 'just install Linux' doesn't fly for a lot of people. I volunteer in a repair cafe and see it first hand, even if you're there to do it with them
