Over time, Microsoft has phased out numerous features and services across its operating systems and platforms. Recently, it was reported that Microsoft plans to discontinue the Microsoft Defender VPN service for users.
Typically, before shutting down a service, Microsoft announces the exact termination date. This advance notice allows users to prepare and explore alternative solutions or methods to replace the discontinued service.
Regarding this matter, in a detailed blog post, Chris Morrissey, Senior Director of Communications for Windows + Devices at Microsoft, explains why such announcements benefit both the company and its users.
From the excerpt above, Microsoft’s reasoning is logical, as it provides users and organizations time to adjust and plan their next steps.
