All because I asked the question at Bugzilla! Otherwise, we'd be still waiting for a decision.

So at least support into Q3 of 2024
Well, I’ll count myself lucky. On Windows 8, I likely won’t have to consider such action until October, but with state of supported browsers, I’ll move off the OS once Firefox ESR support is taken away.
Edit: We now have some clarification on this.
Turns out that Dave 67 here is the same...
Now Dave, did you have to install some ESU bypass to do that? I'm hearing from MSFN that the updates are being rolled back. On Windows 8, I am able to just install Server 2012 update, just after downloading. Are you not able to do just the same on Windows 8.1?

I'm on Windows 8. I just updated using the latest Server 2012 Security Only Quality update. Mt sytem runs like a dream
I actually love being able to come to this forum for a change and actually have useful, current and engaged discussion on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. So often, this forum is just used for Windows Mail integration, Windows 10 upgrading, or games. I love being able to discuss current Windows...
Actually, Windows 8 is what I'm using, so it's definitely relevant. The effect of Server 2012 updates and Flash vs the use of Windows 8.1 updates bears the same result.
