Bill has ways of forcing updates
Life, James Hein, Published on 22/05/2024
» If you are a Microsoft user, private or business, there is a site you should keep an eye on. Search "Microsoft end of life dates" and then select the result with the heading "Overview – Product End of Support and Retirements", associated with learn.microsoft.com. On the left-hand side there are years. Click on 2025, for example, and you will see that Office 2016 and 2019 products will no longer be supported after Oct 14 of that year. On that same date, Windows 10 will be retired. For both of these there will be no new security updates. For some, this will not be an issue, but organisations will need to take note as it means their security will be potentially compromised after a while. Even with Windows 10 still outselling Windows 11, Microsoft will be pushing people to upgrade over the next 18 months and for many, this will no longer be free. People and organisations tend to stick with what works and Microsoft doesn't like that, so it stops supporting older products. The site will tell you when you will start to be at risk and after that you can decide what to do.

Wisdom of a young entrepreneur
Business, Srisamorn Phoosuphanusorn, Published on 29/10/2016
» An old, and perhaps not entirely optimistic Chinese saying, goes something like this: the first generation starts the business, the second makes it flourish, but the third tends to wreck it. But Korawad Chearavanont, the scion of one of Thailand's most powerful business families behind the CP Group empire, is determined to prove that adage wrong.
