Classic .net deployments are regarded as system components, they will receive security updates as long as the supporting OS is supported(that's at least the sales pitch we received) So 4.6 on Windows 10 will be supported at least till 14th October 2025 and 4.7 on Windows 10 at least until 13th October 2026 (if you are willing to pay Microsoft for that)

So ... same as with Oracle. The "if you are willing to pay" part is what people are crying about.

This amazon release specifically says that amazon will only support up to 2023, what makes you think they won't do the same?

[sokoloff]

The Amazon release promises support out to that date.

There's fairly good business reason to think that, if OpenJDK continues to be popular and relevant (as I expect it will be), that Amazon will continue to extend that date, keeping it roughly four to five years in the future each time. They're giving confidence in the long-term support of Java on their platform, not making an indefinite promise about the future.

Also to note James Gosling works at Amazon since May '17. They clearly have a vested interest in Java.

.NET Framework was released in 2014 and will be supported until 2025. I'm not sure the timeframes are comparable regarding Microsoft vs Oracle.
