Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates (www.theregister.com)

Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

15 years is a massive time to just update your OS.

The last version of Windows 10 (22H2) is nothing like the RTM release from 2015 (1507). 1507 still has Cortana and their failed "Continuum" concept.

Essentially we are asking Microsoft to support Windows 10 22H2 for another ~5 years, which is reasonable considering 22H2 is a just under 3 years old.
