Re:Google Domains shutting down, assets sold to Squarespace by Dalewyn on Saturday June 17, 2023 @01:15AM (#36367520)
Fun trivia of the day: MS-DOS 1 through 7.0 only reached EOL in 2001, and MS-DOS 7.1 and 8 which were shipped with Windows 9x only reached EOL in 2006.

If we consider the start year to be 1981, the year MS-DOS 1 came out, that is twenty years of official, commercial support, if we count 7.1 and 8 that's twenty five years.

If you need software you can count on to still be there a few decades down the line, if not more de facto, count on Microsoft to deliver.
