Ubuntu has a thing called LTS (Long Time Support). Is there anything same in MS Windows?

Because, they've just ended Windows 7 support this year. Is there any amount of life-time defined?

Is there any amount life-time defined?

Yes. They can't support a Windows version indefinitely after all. Previously each Windows release has mainstream support for several years, and then some more years of extended support. The supported time depends on the decision from the management instead of a fixed-cycle like on Linux. In some cases they've also had to increased the supported time span due to various reasons (in case of XP, it's because no one wants to use Vista). For the supporting timeline check the below links

• List of Microsoft Windows versions


• Windows lifecycle fact sheet

But since Windows 10 they've switched to a Windows-as-a-service model, which is like rolling release in Linux. So now they have to introduced a more stable branch for enterprises who want robustness named Long Term Servicing branch, which means the answer to the question

Is there anything same in MS Windows?

is yes. In 2018 the branch has been renamed to Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC)

Overview of Windows as a service

As part of the alignment with Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus, we are adopting common terminology to make it as easy as possible to understand the servicing process. Going forward, these are the new terms we will be using:

• Semi-Annual Channel - We will be referring to Current Branch (CB) as "Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)", while Current Branch for Business (CBB) will simply be referred to as "Semi-Annual Channel".


• Long-Term Servicing Channel - The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) will be referred to as Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).
