Users are forced to pay $30/year for support or buy a new, expensive device. Many organizations warn that this decision could increase the risk of cyber attacks. The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) and environmental groups say it is a “bad deal for both users and the planet”.
Experts call on Microsoft to extend free security updates and support for recycling old PCs. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Top 10 'Scary' Technology Devices of the Future.
