See, there is absolutely no reason for this. It's simply out of spite for their users.
No, it isn't. They don't disable Office on Windows 10 on that date.
They just don't take Windows 10 into account anymore in developing updates to the office apps.
Which means those apps might stop working at some point if an update to them happens to break Windows 10 compatibility.
Sorry, nuance is not allowed on Lemmy.
Discontinuing Windows 10 when Windows 11 is such a terrible OS is the real issue, continuing to support EOL Windows version in their Office suite would simply make no sense.
Nuance isn't allowed on the internet. Not just lemmy. Reddit was the same. Forums are the same. Hell if there was a forum dedicated to nuance, it wouldn't allow nuance. Just pretend everyone is highly autistic and you will land more often than not.
When Win 11 is such a hostile experience for privacy, yeah it still is out of spite, just for different reasons. I'm so glad to be rid of Windows in my home.
