Mainstream support includes feature development, while extended support is only security fixes. But extended support is provided free to all customers. Non-security fixes are a paid-for option during extended support but the security fixes are free to all.Look at the example of Windows 7. Its extended support will end in January 2020. Mainstream support for W7 ended on January 13, 2015.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14085/fixed-lifecycle-policy">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14085/fixed-lifecycle-policy</a></li> </ul></blockquote>
