It gives you 6 years to transition to a better OS. Or to become CEO of Microslop and improve things.
It's honestly great, even for me who only boot into windows once every few months.

Great in the sense I don't have to bother for 6 years for a partition I will use less than 24 hours over that period of time haha.
So far I've used it to scan once (for some reason that day skan decided to not work) and to make a windows install USB for my SO.
I tried Expedition 33 thinking performance issues were a Linux thing by no, it's just like that.
So it's a long term unlikely to be used OS, and for that long support is great.
Actually, one more use case is my SO. Can't/won't use Linux, and I'm not fighting. But needs an up to date OS on the ancient lappet laptop, so 10 IOT it is.
I'm hoping someone manages to make surface pro's fully compatible with linux in that time... (or that something that's compatible and serves SPs purpose becomes available)
